      1. A modest proposal: if you think abortion is murder, you should support mandatory vasectomies for every boy that hits puberty. That vasectomy would be (temporarily) reversed when man & partner want to have a child. Result: zero abortions.https://twitter.com/everywhereist/status/1126647518161448960 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      You know what? Vasectomies are reversible. Why not just make all men get them? And then if they're truly ready to be a father, they can undo them. What's that? You have problems with this? Yes, you're right, it's wrong to regulate men's bodies like that.

      2. "But Jeet," you're saying. "Mandatory vasectomies would be an invasion of bodily autonomy!" True, but much less so than mandatory childbirth. Mandatory vasectomies are the least intrusive way to get to a zero abortion world.

      3. "But Jeet," you object. "What if the reverse vasectomy doesn't work?" Simple: each male also has sperm frozen before vasectomy, kept on hold if needs to procreate. Again: mandatory vasectomies are the only way to create a zero abortion world.

          4. If abortion is murder, then the recently passed anti-abortion laws are woefully inadequate (since in every existing society that bans abortion, the procedure still exists underground). The really only effective way is mandatory vasectomies.

          If someone believes abortion is murder, they believe our mothers, our sisters and our daughters, should be imprisoned for the rest of their lives for having one.

          The doctor that performs it would be imprisoned.

          Ever notice how Republicans value financial privacy so much more than physical privacy?

          Minor problem - no human is killed when a vasectomy takes place. Hence why there's an outcry over one procedure and not another.
