Georgia Democrat Proposes Vasectomy Ban in Response to Late-Term Abortion Bill

Georgia Congresswoman Yasmin Neal, along with other Georgia House Democrats to introduced HB 1116 Wednesday — a bill which would prevent men from acquiring vasectomies unless needed to avert serious health issues.
The measure was introduced as to counter the ongoing debate on whether to prohibit abortions for women more than 20 weeks pregnant.
The bill reads:
“It is patently unfair that men avoid the rewards of unwanted fatherhood by presuming that their judgment over such matters is more valid than the judgment of the General Assembly. … It is the purpose of the General Assembly to assert an invasive state interest in the reproductive habits of men in this state and substitute the will of the government over the will of adult men.”
“If we legislate women’s bodies, it’s only fair that we legislate men’s,” said Neal, who said she wanted to write bill that would generate emotion and conversation the way anti-abortion bills do. “There are too many problems in the state. Why are you under the skirts of women? I’m sure there are other places to be.”
Neal said she has no problems with vasectomies and that “it’s still not my place as a woman to tell a man what to do with his body.”
CNN adds:
Earlier discussions about the bill have been “outstanding,” said Rep. Doug McKillip, a Republican from Athens, Georgia, who introduced the anti-abortion bill this month. He said legislators are “drilling down” on questions about when a fetus can feel pain and what exceptions can allow abortions later in pregnancy, and he expects more testimony late this week.
“I’m just disappointed in my colleague, that they would take this opportunity to make light of a very important topic,” McKillip said. “I believe this is a serious topic deserving of serious debate. It feels like a poor attempt at humor.”
Neal, however, said she is serious about making legislators recognize women’s rights over their own bodies.
“I hope that through the madness this has caused, it gets him to understand where the woman is coming from,” she said. “There are a number of women in other states trying the same ploys we’re trying here.”

Posted on February 27, 2012 at 9:14pmThere’s a vast difference between a vas deferens & a fetus (pun intended). Seriously though, how many vasectomies are being performed compared to abortions? Abortion is a medical procedure that results in death, while seldom does the medical procedure of vasectomy result in the death of the person having the procedure. Vasectomies are most often performed as a form of birth control for men, especially since having the procedure done results in no direct harm to anyone other than the man getting the vasectomy. When any woman has an abortion procedure it results directly in the death of the fetus. Neal & many other progressive, liberal, statist women cling to this idea that it is ONLY their body & their body alone that is in question during an abortion. GET OUT OF DENIAL & FACE THE REALITY THAT THERE IS ANOTHER LIFE INVOLVED DIRECTLY, & THAT OF WHOMEVER THE FATHER IS AS WELL!!!

Posted on February 27, 2012 at 5:41pmHere the dems go again using one topic that has nothing to do with the subject to argue a totally different topic. They do it with gay marraige and civil rights and now with abortion. Abortion and vasectomies do not correlate. Vasectomies and tubal ligation do though, and last time I checked no one was stopping any woman from getting her tubes tied.

Posted on February 27, 2012 at 5:38pmOMG, as a mom who just had a baby last month, you can’t tell me that at 20 weeks that squirming, kicking little being in my womb was just a clump of cells. This female from GA is INSANE to believe otherwise. Why is it that libs bitterly cling to the murder of unborn babies as if it’s perfectly OK? If it’s just a clump of cells, why are their laws calling for murder charges when a pregnant woman is harmed during the commission of a crime and her unborn baby is killed? And why the he11 do libs still insist that abortion is the only solution to unplanned pregnancies? After listening to the screeching from the left about it, you would think that having an abortion deserved a badge of honor or something. Sick.
