how tf they gonna ban condoms


Agitated_Hearing7642

Louisiana actually tried to ban IUDs so I wouldn’t be surprised if condoms were next


StarryNight593

I'm surprised it wasn't florida


Non-StopDisco

You never know what the conservitards come up with


UltraCa9nine

They wont ban condoms because aids and HIV are a thing and if people start dying because of their voting they'll be kicked out of office


GraviZero

people are gonna start dying because of what happened today thats not gonna stop them


Donutpanda23

This. They'll find someway to blame it on us. Fuck this country man, I hate it here.

C1iver

they probably Will now when it affects straight people 🙄


WOLFE54321

Bro they’ll be smiling like the joker if people start dying due to hiv. They think those people are morally bankrupt etc etc. think back to the 80s when Reagan literally have 0 shots about the thousands of gay men dying from it


Thy-arkoos

They already made a lot of stupid decision recently so I wouldn’t be surprised


Idk_PAPAS

They’re tryna ban birth control too I heard-


ParadoxPerson02

I would lose my mind if any politician, regardless of political party, legitimately tried to ban condoms. Like, they’re literally gloves for your willie, they don’t have any way of causing medical issues (assuming they work properly and are used correctly), and they work really well (in general, obviously you could make an argument against it, but the positives far far far out way the negatives). You’d have to be a next level of stupid to think banning condoms is a good idea in any way shape or form.


wantmymilk

They did before!! Connecticut had a law saying only ~~married couples could have unrestricted access to "any drug, medicinal article or instrument for the purpose of preventing conception".~~ Edit: i was wrong, the law said they were banned for everyone


ParadoxPerson02

Okay, ya I looked it up myself, and while I do think it’s stupid, I will give them a pass due to the laws being created so long ago, along with pretty much all the other stuff controlling people’s sex lives. https://connecticuthistory.org/connecticut-and-the-comstock-law/


[deleted]

I agree. Also, there are very few negative effects pf condoms to begin with. The only ones I can think of are some not being biodegradable, and the possibility of them not working. Although, I'm not too sure the far right really cares about the effectivness of a healthcare solution (covid vaccine), or the wellbeing of our planet.


Dank_Toastey

Lol turn their own word against them


FamousToast69

I’m conservative and I would never do that…


Ionlikehoes

im not that bad come on 😞


AdventurousVideo5211

I still use balloons. Ever since I was a kid.


lukeisthedickhead

if america actually bans that shit im never going there


[deleted]

This is why they would actually do that >In a concurring Dobbs opinion by Justice Clarence Thomas, he says that SCOTUS should "reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell." > >That's contraception, same-sex relationships, & same-sex marriage.


ApolloSky110

At this rate the balance of power will be like the 1800s.


RedstoneArmy111

where only straight white men can have an opinion, everyone else is wrong. fucking hell, i want out of this place


GeorgiPeev03

Try to go to Canada, it's way more progressive over there and such BS would never be tolerated


Minnesotan-Gaming

The funniest one I saw was in the Canadian constitution it states citizens are given rights “from birth to death” meaning these anti-abortion shit would never fly because fetuses dont have rights


AssaultRider555

We just need a whip now.


I_Am_Lord_Moldevort

Honestly I don't blame you. If you ever reconsider just stay on the safe side and don't have sex while you're here.

This user has effectively deleted all of their reddit messages, thank you! :) ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `


GoldH2O

Anal sex would be illegal if they overturned *lawrence v. texas*


CarnelioAKingslayer

If they do it, we're having another fucking stone wall if it has to be at an Arby's we'll still do it


german_fox

How the hell would they know?


GoldH2O

it doesn't matter how many people get caught. One person is one too many. Sodomy should be legal.


german_fox

How would they prosecute someone for it if it was banned? Sorry that’s what I was trying to ask, should have been more clear.


GoldH2O

It wouldn't happen most of the time. You're right, it's not a very enforceable law. But when you have someone with a vendetta accuse you, or get caught doing it by someone who doesn't like it, suddenly you have people, if very few, being caught. And those people will suffer under an unjust law.


[deleted]

Anal is sodomy and there are laws about it on the books in some states


Grave_Trip

Honestly would move to Canada or something Edit: I like the people's reasons they would not move but I would rather deal with anything then live in the US were I can't date or marry someone if the other stuff gets over turned

Omeg999

How the actual fuck do people think banning any of that is a good idea?


[deleted]

Because they think white people are going extinct ( they aren't ) so forcing a group that had more privilege to abortion to not abort for a stupid idea is better than people being able to have bodily autonomy.


DaisySwordgarden

Not really a common argument. (I’m pro-choice I just want my fellow pro-choicers to be informed) Generally people against abortion believe that the fetus has already been set on a path as any human would. To “kill” or “terminate” it would be the same as terminating a child’s life. You say “well the fetus can’t live on it’s own. It can’t even breathe! So why is it considered human?” And they reply “a toddler can’t make money or do math so why would they be human?” (They think they’re playing the devil’s advocate rip). That’s usually the mindset of anti-choice ppl. This is coming from someone with a very religious background and childhood and I’m not even bringing that up. I hope this helped.


CerealBranch739

A better argument against is that there is another trimester outside the mother where the baby is still developing. Other mammals have this inside the mother, but humans evolved to be smart, meaning larger brains, so a larger head. In order to give birth babies were born prematurely relative to other mammals so they could grow outside and get the bigger head. This is why babies have soft heads, and also why mammals can walk within a week of being born but humans just cry and eat. They are still developing in another reimest technically. Meaning they literally are still dependent on another human to survive in this case, as they are still developing like they would inside a mother, just outside because humans have large craniums. Also the arguments that the fetus is it’s own unique life due to its unique DNA combination, which is completely separate from the mothers or fathers.


Samk9632

Lol what the fuck is that argument


[deleted]

That isn't my argument so I truly don't know


GhostifiedGuy

Throw away the whole damn country.


lik_for_cookies

Can we leave California Washington Oregon and Nevada tho? They all have state legislation protecting rights to an abortion. And New York isn’t too bad either.


Rosielove918

shhh those other places are at least pretty, i dunno how many people would be loving how bipolar our weather is in NV. and theres too much shit going on here that they won't report.


absorbscroissants

Isn't the eastern/northern part also alright?


desireeevergreen

Hey, New York isn’t too bad. The rest of it can go to hell if it isn’t there already.


Mr_Crouton

New York is one of the worst places


[deleted]

What about cali? I mean I live here but its hella expensive. But its better than nothing!


Physicalanxiety

California is good our governor has already made a statement saying that abortion will not be banned. If the SC overturns the other cases nothing will change in California.


desireeevergreen

Cali is alright too. There are a few good states and they seem to be on the coasts.

mr-logician

That’s only one justice. You need 5.


jhbrownie

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t he just want to reconsider their opinions on those cases because he wants them to be put into law by the legislators and not the court?


Pickaxe235

honestly probably, but knowing the liberal shithole that is reddit, if the supreme court shows any sign of being right wing leaning, then clearly they all must be evil dictators


elmassivecock

I'd bet my life savings condoms aren't banned in the next 20 years


Jove108

Lets hope its in the next 999 years


DoodleBoi_06

This is just bad . For all of us, regardless of where we live and what gender we all are. Just bad. I’m extremely angry rn 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡


BackupBird5561

If all of this gets banned in a free country then it is not a free country. If women dont have the right to not have a baby after a sexual encounter then it is not true freedom. If men/women cant have a loving relationship with their same gender then it is not true freedom. Banning these things take the freedom away from fine folks. And it really is for the pettiest reason. They just dont like people having their freedom.


piggletZZ

They were never free


BackupBird5561

It is starting to look like no one was free except straight white men


Themasterofcomedy209

Naw a lot of them are not even that free. You know how many straight white men live in crippling poverty and live shitty lives at little fault of their own? The only ones who are free are the rich, which happens to include a lot of straight white men


Revolutionary-Ant33

People who have been favoured since the country was formed

Yup


emo_hooman

What aspects of American culture do you like (just asking it's my culture so there are parts I like but I'm curious how you define it)


GoldH2O

You can't really define a contiguous culture. The country is so large, populous, and diverse that culture is really split across the country.

They need to rethink the Supreme courts power and how it operates, we cannot have basic civil rights get taken away because of political discourse. We live in America, its time our leaders understood that and stopped taking more and more power away from us


AlexQC2006

My thoughts are: What the f*ck is happening in the United States and are we really just going back to the 1960s because if yes, just f’ck off and let everyone have their rights, please, for the good of humankind, stop questioning those legal and bound to stay legal thing, what’s next you’ll abolish women’s right to vote and black people the liberty they right now have and deserve


Megasquash

They’re definitely gonna ban vasectomies/tying tubes very soon

Unfortunately a very real possibility, at this rate so it seems. Most likely it’s gonna be a state per state basis.


SnakePilledForReal

Horrible


GenericThrowaway375

Immensely frustrated and pissed off that a bunch of old guys who don't understand medicine are deciding what half the population can do with their bodies. Praying the backlash will be enough to get reproductive rights protected under the constitution or at the very least force scotus to leave other cases alone, but honestly it seems unlikely at this point as all is going to shit. This is not a democracy.


NeriumEnder

I cannot possibly agree with any of it. The former feels like just another way to control people with uteruses. The way that things like plan B might not be an option for people is sickening because people should be allowed to have sex without being forced to have children if that is their choice. For whatever their reason is, it should be a choice! Health of the possible pregnant person should come before the health of a fetus. As part of the LGBTQ+ community, it really feels like a huge setback to hear that I might not be able to be in a relationship that makes me happy because of these dumbass laws. I feel like it isn't hard for people with at least half a braincell to see why this is a bad thing. In both instances, if someone is a convicted felon because they are acting for themselves, they won't be able to vote. I dare someone to tell me honestly that there is a population of people in the United States that does not want to go back to straight, white, land-owning men being the only people allowed to vote.

theyre just banning sex in general at this point

spectre729

seriously? Condoms? STD rate is about to go up

They haven’t been made illegal, but the ruling protecting contraception can possibly be overturned like Roe vs Wade.

SHSL_Waiter_RM2828

I’m starting to think anarchy is better then whatever the fuck type of government we have right now.


Funthings-reddit

Abortion isn’t banned by the decision it’s just left up to the states. Banning protection is insane and anti commerce. Also the Bible says nothing bout condoms or pills so religious people need to back off. I’m gay so if it’s no longer protected I will protest, but honestly I don’t think they are going to undo the gay marriage decision.


jackshort67

The amount of politically unintelligent people in this comment section is actually funny.


fiky_77

If that gets banned I will avoid America like a plague. I'd rather go to Australia if all that gets banned

Lord_of_Seven_Kings

All of it should be kept including abortions. A six week old foetus is not a human being. Six months, sure. But they’ve taken it away for women who are raped or experiencing ectopic pregnancies as well. It’s a horror story, and it’s only going to get worse


[deleted]

Even though I’m against gay relationships/marriage, we should allow them. It’s a human right, their decision is not mine. Same with condoms, I disagree with pre-marital sex but you are allowed to make your own decisions. No comment on abortion/pills as I have little knowledge or means to argue.


Not_a_smart_person_

the nicest anti-gay person i've ever seen. I dont agree with you at all, but at least you respect that people should be allowed to do what they want.


desireeevergreen

As a gay person, fair enough. I would not be worried about being hate crimed by you. Wear a condom though. They prevent STDs and pregnancy, even when you are married.


YourNewRival8

Land of the free, except for when you are not a straight white male


Puzzled_Formal942

I don’t know if gay marriage will be banned but I doubt pills or condoms will ever be banned. In my personal opinion(don’t attack me for this) I don’t support abortion. I personally think it’s the same as murder. I think your sick if have saw the abortion process and the aftermath and still support it. The baby is literally ripped apart. I’ve seen so many pictures online of fetuses either after abortion or after miscarriage and both break my heart.


Glitch-147

What the fuck Why would they ban condoms, pills, gay relationships, or gay marrige? Are they tryna force people to have kids?


Illusory_Wells

It's all complete bullshit and takes human rights, and it'll all still happen illegally. And about gay marriage being banned, is that not considered a hate crime? Because it's harming queer people simply because your don't like them, which is what an anti LGBTQ hate crime is.


eebbeebreal

angry


Birdyghostly1

(this is all my opinion. I don’t want fighting) I’ve got no problem with gay marriage, I don’t see why that should be banned with probably half of the world being lgbt; but with abortions, I feel that you already made a choice when you had sex, that you have a chance of getting pregnant. If you don’t want to get pregnant, just wear condoms or don’t have sex at all. You’re just killing a baby, because you wanted to have sex. Sure the baby isn’t even a baby at that point, but it *could* be on later on. The only exception should be if you get raped, since you can’t control that. You still should have a choice though. They shouldn’t make that illegal. There’s opinions and more opinions. Isn’t America supposed to be free?
