Lol, years ago my husband bought cigarettes on line from Native American reservation as NJ raised the taxes so much. He was doing this for almost a year until he got a bill from NJ for owed cigarette tax. How did they know? Everything you do online someone is tracking

I saw (on Reddit) guys saying they've already made their vasectomy appointments and are scheduled within the next month or so. Not just married men with kids, many singles too.

Men won't like it much if the ladies start "crossing their legs" more often. Especially husbands who consider sex with their wives to be their marital right.

It's not less government at all. The states will decide. It's a legal hand-off, not a relinquishment of power to the people. So the claim that the GOP is the party of less government is a lie.

that's exactly what the supreme court just did.....

...ruled that the supremes do not have the power to dictate a medical procedure

Not all women can say no. What about women who are being trafficked? Raped? Incest?

In the end the outcome will likely not change as much as pro-lifers hope -- where there's a will, there's a way, and those ways will get utilized.

I hope many are prompted to seek LTBC (long-term birth control) solutions and have success with prevention.

In the meantime, "sponge-worthy" assessments may be back in vogue. (hat tip to Seinfeld).

It can be done via a telehealth call. Just like at a doctor visit where they ask for date of last period, date of intercourse, etc. Whether in person or telehealth, they are still depending on the woman's answers to a list of questions. Neither the in-person or telehealth doctor has any way to confirm the woman's answers.

How would you expect to "verify" how many weeks pregnant she is when it is still too early for a sonogram to show anything ?

We got laws against that and those are the exceptions and not the norm. If We can prove that you been trafficked, raped or incest We will expand the abortion limit to 9 months and pay for it. Happy? but the 98% of all abortions doesn't fall in that category.

Interestingly, a baby can’t survive independently after it is born either. And if that baby is neglected, injured, or killed due to neglect, that is murder.
