This is just blatantly false, men's rights do vary wildly state by state. I get what this is saying and I agree with the message but presenting a good message behind a lie doesn't make it any less of a lie.
Which state is it illegal to get a vasectomy?
Which state is it illegal to get a tubal ligation?
Which states is abortion, a life saving medical procedure illegal?
Sorry, I don't have a direct men's version of this.
Texas has been murdering people over it.
I don't know.
Which world is a vasectomy and tubal ligation the same as an abortion? Because that was the comment that I responded to.
Well I don't know, but have you had six separate $150+ appointments with your doc who asks you questions ranging from "well what does your boyfriend of two weeks want" to "are you really sure?" to "we're going to have to ask you attend this six week course on why it's important to produce a legacy before we can sign off on this. Then we'll see what your insurance has to say"
The topic was illegal procedures, the person I replied to was comparing a vasectomy to abortion by asking which states it is illegal in.
The comparison isn’t valid. A vasectomy isn’t remotely the same procedure as an abortion.
You could check before posting so that you would know.
If you did, you would find out that there are 0 states in the United States where either tubal ligation or vasectomies are illegal.
I do agree that the access to care situation is shit and caused by sexist lawmakers and doctors.
But, just because you agree with someone, doesn’t mean you can’t tell them that they’re making irrational arguments. If people want to continue to push for change, it’s important that everyone is capable of understanding the issues and know how to argue them effectively.
Making outrage baiting statements are good for social media engagement, but they’re antithetical to convincing people to change.
