The Best Birth Control In The World Is For Men by Jon Clinkenbeard

If I were going to describe the perfect contraceptive, it would go something like this: no babies, no latex, no daily pill to remember, no hormones to interfere with mood or sex drive, no negative health effects whatsoever, and 100 percent effectiveness. The funny thing is, something like that currently exists.

The procedure called RISUG in India (reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance) takes about 15 minutes with a doctor, is effective after about three days, and lasts for 10 or more years…

Oh, and when you do decide you want those babies, it only takes one other injection of water and baking soda to flush out the gel, and within two to three months, you’ve got all your healthy sperm again.

The trouble is, most people don’t even know this exists. And if men only need one super-cheap shot every 10 years or more, that’s not something that gets big pharmaceutical companies all fired up, because they’ll make zero money on it (even if it might have the side benefit of, you know, destroying HIV).

Is this shit for real?

If this is real, I can’t see why most guys my age wouldn’t do it.

I don’t think it would destroy HIV… fluids are still being exchanged.

Thought it seemed too good to be true… this is from the wiki:

The thoroughness of carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, and toxicity testing in clinical trials has been questioned. In October 2002, India’s Ministry of Health aborted the clinical trials due to reports of albumin in urine and scrotal swelling in Phase III trial participants.[8] The Indian Council for Medical Research noted that dimethyl sulfoxide used as a solvent for the injection is known to cause kidney damage.[9]

Rats. Sorry everyone. Reblogging again for the last comment! ^

Paul Ryan is a fucking buffoon. But a dangerous buffoon nonetheless.

Vote Republican 2012

This would just encourage some of my relatives…

Same here ^. I know some people, some of them blood relatives, who actually agree with all of the psychotic bullshit that the republican party has been pushing for the last several years.

I can’t stand it anymore. All the religious and conservative nonsense that has no place in the year 2012… not to sound too cold, but once all of these old, hateful, bitter, racist, sexist fucks finally just die of old age, MAYBE THEN we’ll finally see some real progressive change.

Yes, I really feel this way.

The GOP are great at politicizing issues without accounting for facts. Or science. Or reality. Americans have sex. Lots of it. All the time.

How disturbingly out of touch, how invasive, how disastrous are your goals for controlling people, that, at the core of your opinions, you fail to acknowledge the private sex lives of millions of adult citizens?

They speak of contraception as if sex is a theory. “If” people have sex. “If” they were to get pregnant. How can you seriously deal with real life situations if you impose your “babies come from the stork” infantile intellect on very adult and diverse issues?

It’s not enough that republicans want to limit what they do in the bedroom. They want to limit what everyone else does in the bedroom. And you might ask yourself why they even care, or why your private/sex life is any of their business. 

There is only one thing they use to justify their trespass: religion

Disagree if you want, but you’d be wrong. Rick Santorum doesn’t hate condoms because he finds latex to be a deplorable material; he hates them because “god” told him that sex is ONLY FOR MARRIED HETEROSEXUAL COUPLES. And it is ONLY TO BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROCREATION. Going by his biblical standards, you’d have to redefine marriage pretty narrowly. In his eyes, the following couples should never get married:

• homosexual couples
• men who are infertile or have low sperm counts
• women who are barren and can’t carry an infant to term
• couples who do not want children
• couples who have sex for pleasure in addition to procreation
• couples who have sex for pleasure in general

None of these people would really be able to get married under a Santorum regime. And he justifies all of this nonsense with the bible. A book full of fairytales and violent nonsense that hasn’t been relevant for at least 1,000 years.

This is why religion is a poison.

No, you can’t deny women their basic rights and pretend it’s about your “religious freedom.”  If you don’t like birth control, don’t use it.  Religious freedom doesn’t mean you can force others to live by your own beliefs.  - Barack Obama

Well I’m glad he fucking said it. lol

Female Republican Senators go rogue, back Obama on contraceptives

Two female Republican members of the U.S. Senate, Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, have broken rank with their party and come out in favor of a new rule issued by the Obama Administration that requires private health insurers to fully pay for the cost of contraception products.

The two lawmakers extended their support after the administration tweaked its rule to exempt religious non-profits from paying any part of the cost for contraception.

“It appears that changes have been made that provide women’s health services without compelling Catholic organizations in particular to violate the beliefs and tenets of their faith,” Snowe said in a prepared statement. “According to the Catholic Health Association, the administration ‘responded to the issues [they] identified that needed to be fixed,’ which is what I urged the president to do in addressing this situation.”

Collins added that she was glad to see the administration had “finally listened to the concerns raised by many and appears to be seeking to avoid the threat to religious liberties posed by its original plan.”

Their support comes as Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) is shopping around an amendment to the rule that would allow any employer,  not just religious non-profits, to do away with workers’ contraception coverage. He was backed up by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who said Sunday that he supports taking the teeth out of the president’s rule by exempting any employer that wants out.

The rule initially required employers to pay in workplaces that cover the cost of health insurance for their employees, but it was strongly opposed by the Catholic Church, which considers contraceptive use to be a sin unless the user is a prostitute.

Oh, Snowe and Collins - every time I think your party is totally irredeemable, you go and say something sensible. [Also, I read the title and just KNEW it was these two.]

It’s good to see that some republicans have retained their sanity.

Also, Blunt and McConnell can go fuck themselves.

Birth Control Compromise of the Day: Responding to the objections of religious groups, President Obama today announced an “accommodating” revision to the health care mandate that will allow women to receive free birth control irrespective of their employers’ personal conviction.

“[I]f a woman works for religious employers with objections to providing contraceptive services as part of its health plan,” the President said in his statement, ” the religious employer will not be required to provide contraception coverage, but her insurance company will be required to offer contraceptive care free of charge.”

Both the Catholic Health Association and NARAL Pro-Choice America approved of the compromise. The insurance industry has yet to issue a formal response, but White House officials reportedly consulted with insurers prior to the announcement. 

[reuters / mediaite / politico / photo: reuters.]

NNNOOOOOOOOO! I knew this compromise would be awful. Religious freedom does not include the right to deny people health care, especially not when it oppresses primarily women. Fuck you, GOP.

Obama caves on fucking everything. Fuck this stupid country.

“Religious freedom” doesn’t mean you get to tell other people what to do, even if they are your employees. This shit is ridiculous.

All you anti-choicers and “anti-contraception” people, PLEASE GO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE CHOICES AND FUCKING KILL YOURSELVES.
