Liberals are Getting Vasectomies to Protest Overturning Roe v. Wade

The overturning of Roe v. Wade is forcing more men to take responsibility for their actions.

Those who are not ready to be fathers can no longer rely on their unborn babies being aborted, especially in the South and Midwest where many states now protect – or are fighting in court to protect – unborn babies’ lives.

So, many are choosing to be sterilized instead.

In a new Associated Press report, doctors across the country confirmed that they have seen a noticeable increase in men seeking vasectomies since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health in June.

According to the AP, Dr. Esgar Guarin is working with the Planned Parenthood abortion chain to provide free and reduced-costed vasectomies in November in Missouri and Iowa. He told the news outlet that female sterilization is more common, but vasectomies are cheaper and easier to perform.

“It’s a very particular moment in reproductive rights in the United States. And we need to talk about it,” Guarin said.

Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri reported an increase in both male and female sterilizations compared to last year, doing 42 vasectomies in one month compared to 10 that month in 2021.

Doctors in Florida and Texas, states that restrict or ban the killing of unborn babies in abortions, said they also have been seeing more male patients request sterilizations.

Here’s more from the report:

Dr. Doug Stein, a urological surgeon in the Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida, area, said patient registrations for his practice tripled immediately after the Dobbs decision, with many patients under the age of 30.

“I think everybody is busier since the Dobbs decision,” said Stein, who co-founded World Vasectomy Day. …

In Texas, Dr. Koushik Shaw said his Austin Urology Institute saw a spike when the state enacted a strict abortion law last year and another, larger one after the U.S. Supreme Court decision, so that it’s now doing 50% more procedures. He said many are for men who don’t want children and saw access to abortion as another option should birth control not work as planned.

“I think people are afraid, No. 1, about abortion not being accessible, which is a very real and legitimate fear and in the reality for a large part of folks in our country. And then I think people are also really afraid that what else might be next,” Dr. Margaret Baum, the medical director of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri, told the AP.

Baum and other abortion activists have been raising baseless claims that pro-lifers want to ban birth control next, which is not true. The goal of the pro-life movement is to protect and value every human being and their right to life, and abortions have destroyed more than 63 million unborn babies’ lives in America alone in the past 50 years.

Pro-life advocates want men and women who do not want to be parents to take responsibility for their actions by abstaining from sex, using birth control or getting sterilized. And the overturning of Roe appears to be prompting more to do so.

Man Exchanges 3D Printed Guns for $21,000 at New York Gun Buyback Program

Since 2019, New York Attorney General Letitia James has been encouraging residents of her state to participate in her office’s gun buyback program, wherein the government offers money for firearms, “no questions asked.”

At an event held in Utica, NY in August, one man allegedly gamed the system, walking away with thousands of dollars after turning in over 100 guns he made using his 3D printer.

According to WKTV, the man, known only as “Kem,” had seen posts online about people pulling off such stunts, and decided to try it for himself.

Using his $200 3D printer, Kem quickly birthed a battery of plastic firearms, and drove six hours from his home to Utica, where the buyback program was holding an event.

“I 3D-printed a bunch of lower receivers and frames for different kinds of firearms,” said Kem.

Kem explained that upon arriving in Utica, he was asked how many guns he wished to turn in, to which he replied, “110.”

After spending the rest of the day negotiating with staff, Kem was presented with 42 gift cards, each worth $500, making the total payout $21,000.

“I’m sure handing over $21,000 in gift cards to some punk kid after getting a bunch of plastic junk was a rousing success,” Kem told WKTV, adding that, “gun buybacks are a fantastic way of showing, number one, that your policies don’t work, and, number two, you’re creating perverse demand.”

He argued that programs such as James’ “don’t actually reduce crime whatsoever.”

According to James’ office, the August 27 buyback event “resulted in the collection of 296 guns, including 177 ghost guns, 42 long guns, 41 handguns, 33 non-working guns, and 3 assault rifles.”

Ghost guns are firearms that are unregistered and unregulated, often built by users themselves. Kem’s 3D-printed weapons would fit into this category.

Since 2019, James’ program has resulted in the buyback of 3,500 guns, and she has no intention of stopping any time soon.

In a statement to KWTV, her office slammed Kem for his actions, and explained that they have “adjusted [their] policies to ensure that no one can exploit this program again for personal gain.”

Another US Food Processing Plant Catches Fire, Add This to Growing List

Another food processing plant went up in flames last weekend. Add this poultry business in California to the growing list of US food plants that have been knocked offline in the past year due to “accidental fires.”

Los Angeles-based KTLA reported QC Poultry processing plant in Montebello, California, located just east of East Los Angeles and southwest of San Gabriel Valley, caught fire around 1600 local time Sunday. Firefighters responded to the large industrial plant as heavy smoke billowed from the roof.

“As members [firefighters] began to deploy, the fire was upgraded to a third alarm commercial fire. Firefighters initially took a defensive stance and held the fire from spreading to any other nearby structures,” Montebello Fire Department said. The fire was declared “knocked down” by 2000 local time. 

KTLA said there was no damage to other building structures nearby. The fire’s cause is unknown…

While the fire seems insignificant, it’s part of a much larger issue of a spate of mysterious fires taking out America’s food supply chain one by one over the last year.

We tallied a list in June of a couple dozen or more food processing plants that have caught fire (find the list here).

Biden’s New ‘Ministry of Truth’ Hits a Major Roadblock

I have good news if you value free speech and don’t want the government jamming its nose into the issue. Joe Biden’s new “Ministry of Truth,” officially known as the Disinformation Governance Board, has been put on hold.

That comes after its chosen leader, Nina Jankowicz, was thoroughly exposed as not only a far-left quack but also a disturbing promoter of government censorship. RedState has reported extensively on her past, from Jankowicz’s rants about “gender disinformation” to her desire to be able to edit other people’s social media posts.

Now, per The Washington Post, the Disinformation Governance Board has been paused, and guess who is responsible? You got it, those dastardly Republicans who don’t wish to live in a George Orwell novel.

Now, just three weeks after its announcement, the Disinformation Governance Board is being “paused,” according to multiple employees at DHS, capping a back-and-forth week of decisions that changed during the course of reporting of this story. On Monday, DHS decided to shut down the board, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation. By Tuesday morning, Jankowicz had drafted a resignation letter in response to the board’s dissolution.

NBC flops in primetime to open Winter Games.

Thursday’s primetime coverage of the Beijing Winter Olympics averaged 7.25 million viewers on NBC, marking the smallest primetime Olympic audience ever on the network. The previous low was 8.5 million for the final night of competition at last year’s Tokyo Summer Olympics.

Neil Young’s music is no longer available on the internet music streaming service Spotify. (Like I care, but…………..)

Young told Spotify that they either drop Joe Rogan’s podcast (Like I care, but……..) because he has been pushing COVID misinformation or he pulls his music from Spotify.

Spotify apparently looked at the numbers of Rogan drawing from 11 to even 40 million listeners per episode, with Young getting about 6 million listeners per month. So they told Mr. Young Bye! DLTDHYOTAOTWO.
