should be prosecuted and sent to prison for being irresponsible and not using a simple condom.
Married men should also be imprisoned for not getting a simple vasectomy and impregnating their wives.

She should have been dressed modestly. She should have stayed away from the bar. She should have not gone out at night. She should have done this and she should have done that. She encouraged the man. She asked for it. Her behavior is what is judged. Not his.
They're not going to penalize the man.

I'd think the immediate specter of provable paternity and child support should be scary enough.

(34,136 posts)Even tubal ligation and vasectomies can fail. The only sure way to to remove all the reproductive organs and few would go for that.
This is why abortion should be available and the choice made by a woman and her doctor - and her partner if the woman so chooses.
I'm saying this as a woman who has had an abortion (after getting pregnant while on birth control), a tubal, and a complete hysterectomy.

If I believed in a god, I'd blame a deity for the current SC decision. But it is christofascists that have done this, not a deity.

(3,409 posts)had to fight for months to find a doctor willing to perform a hysterectomy. Why? They didn't want to prevent pregnancies I didn't want? I already had a child. More of this nightmare is in store for women. This is the war on women and I plan to fight.

(34,136 posts)I watched an aunt getting pregnant pretty much every year she could. She had six successful pregnancies, and numerous miscarriages. She always had miserable pregnancies, so I never understood it - but her religion called for her to pop out as many crotch goblins as possible in her lifetime.
When my birth control failed, I shopped around for a doctor who would not only do the abortion, but also tie my tubes - it wasn't easy. Most of the doctors refused because I had no children and thought I was irrational for not wanting them. Then years later, when my out of control bleeding every month and the migraines I got from my hormones got too much - I was non-functional for about three weeks a month at that point - I was very lucky to have a very good gynecologist who did the hysterectomy. Once I gave up on the hormone patches he recommended, I stopped having migraines. I never asked what he found why I had so much bleeding - it was stopped so it didn't matter to me.

(3,409 posts)I am afraid for young women today; glad my daughter got her tubal already & her husband had a vasectomy as well. She has polycystic kidney disease which could be passed onto a child and would also be made worse by a pregnancy. This SCOTUS bullcrap punishes responsible people!
This country was founded on pursuit of religious freedom. We are going back into the dark ages again losing our basic rights.

(34,136 posts)The biggest problem I had with hormone therapy was the generics the drug plans kept forcing on me. The brand name one released it at a constant rate, the generics released a lot when first applied, then trickled off so every time I put a new patch on, I'd get a migraine that lasted until the hormone rate reduced.
Most of my nieces are done with their childbearing - but what would happen if they had an unintended pregnancy that threatened their lives? My grandniece is only a few years old. Hopefully by the time she grows up the country will have shifted back and this country will be sane again.
But then there are my nephews' wives - most of them I don't know at all so I wonder what their choices would be and how this will affect them.

(17,444 posts)1) Won't use them because they "dull the sensation".
2) Will actually put one on at their partner's request, and then stealthily remove it during the act. Having sex in a darkened room? Then the woman may not even know this until after the act is completed.
These are the type of men who have no business having sex with someone else.
Never had an issue with condoms. In fact, there's been a few times in my life where my partner did not want me to use one, but I did anyway.
