Withdrawal Method Proves Highly Effective for Tennessee Bill
March 17th, 2009 at 6:23 pm by MicheleNow for some stupid news: a bill to regulate vasectomies in Tennessee has been snipped, folded, stitched, hopefully cauterized and rendered irreversible.
The resolution sponsored by Rep. Karen Camper, a Memphis Democrat, was voted down Tuesday in the House Public Health and Family Assistance Subcommittee.
Camper says the measure is similar to one that would amend the Tennessee Constitution to allow the state to impose greater limits on abortions. Part of the language in that proposal says “nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion.”
Campers legislation would have said nothing in the state Constitution “secures or protects a right to a vasectomy.”
She says if restrictions are placed on women, the same should apply to men.
Camper says her main objective was to start dialogue on the issue.
I’m not the sharpest scalpel on the tray, but I know fallacious logic when I see it. I also have a pretty thick skull because today I was finally convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that you really don’t have to have brains to get into political office. I know. Shut up.
Short lesson on analogies for Karen: Vasectomy is to Abortion as Immunization is to Lethal Injection.
And if you want to start a dialogue, then get a blog.

In these austere times, this is an expensive dialogue to be wasting everyone’s time is it not?
Outside of a couple of militant lesbian bloggers, I wouldn’t have known that this bill got that far. Not that they know how penises work to begin.
They think cock only has two settings – Lurk and Rape. Contrary to that assertion, it’s also good for faceslapping as evidenced by the defeat of this bill.

isn’t that “phallacious”?
