As a trans man, I would be happy to have a child. My uterus still works, as much as I would suffer going off of testosterone enough to carry, it is something I have always wanted.
Unfortunately, these people have made it legal for me to be fired for being trans. They have voted for politicians that have done nothing to address the catastrophic state of medical care which renders it prohibitively expensive to realistically ever be able to care for a child.
I believe that children deserve stable living conditions and a future, which does not seem to be something that they are concerned with at all.
Southern Baptists must have the highest rate of homosexuality in the world. It’s all they talk about. They throw it in with absolutely everything. “Do you guys want to order a pizza and end homosexuality?” “What movie did you want to watch while we think about homosexuality?” “We’re going to Aruba this summer and we’re going to think about homosexuality”
thier trans obsession, must because they all love watch trans porn.
Broken clock, yadda yadda…
the sports gambling is getting out of hand, yeah
I don’t think that phrase means what you think it means
hey, I target porn too! Lots and lots of porn!
Please spend all your time on sports betting. Let Them Fight. Let those two rapacious vile Industries go after each other.
I’ve never know a happy Southern Baptist. I’m not interested in being as miserable as them.
The Southern Baptist only exist because the other Baptists were against slavery. Fuck every single one of them.
Do you know the best way to keep a Southern Baptist from drinking all of your beer on your fishing trip? Invite a second Southern Baptist.
Heh, heard that one with Mormon instead
The only Southern Baptists I know were really into demonstrative shows of family unity at church, but would frequently get into massive screaming matches where they’d kick their teenage kids out of the house. They’re divorced now.
“We are miserable and we want you to be too !”
They’re not miserable though.
They’re generally much, much happier than progressives or leftists, because stupidity is directly linked to higher levels of short-term happiness and satisfaction from things like socializing and entertainment.
I don’t think there’s any good lesson to learn from this. But I think we have to do a lot better to understand the motivations of the people who are trying to affect the world with their agendas. They’re trying to make the world as “happy” as they are, and will always fail because others are too smart to accept a magical sky-daddy, just like they’re too dumb to see the wonder of a universe without a storyline.
Whatever happens in the near-term, we all have to continue to live next to each other so knowing what powers your dumb neighbors is more important than any other thing you could learn.
That stance against sports betting annoys me so much, because that means I can’t just look at everything they stand for and say I want the opposite.
Yeah, predatory ads for gambling really drive me crazy. Although I’d say my reasoning for being against it is pretty different from the Baptists.
support policies that promote childbearing.
…like making abortion legal in all 50 states again? Like comprehensive sex education in schools? Like treating women as people and not property?
The most effective way for the Southern Baptists to promote childbearing would be for them to stay the fuck out of politics!
Part of conservatism is the idea that “the more complex a solution is, the wronger it is.”
Another part is “We should be able to control women’s use of their hoo-hoos for pleasure by restricting them to being baby chambers.”
Here we have a venn diagram where the circles are the same.
Easy way to rule these fuckers out is to get them to say “vagina”
If they can’t do it without giggling, offence, or claiming obscenity, out they go
Abortion policies are a DIRECT REASON why I haven’t had any more children. If I can’t have guaranteed access to necessary, life-saving medical treatment (e.g. emergency abortions) then I won’t put my wife’s life at risk for one more child.
Southern baptists were pro-choice until the rise of the “moral majority” required southern baptists to fall in line with the catholic church on abortion to create the supply side Jesus we know today.
Note them prioritizing childbearing and not childrearing. Though they also aren’t prioritizing childbearing regardless of what they say.

A lot of these conservative groups have their heads fully packed with eugenics and social darwinian philosophy. The goal is to just keep popping kids out and come-what-may. Eventually, a large enough population will produce some ubermensch. And then you breed the ubermench to get your prodigies and your messiahs.
It’s Genetics meets Calvinism. If you succeed, its because you’ve got the Purest Blood. If you fail, it is because you have trash DNA and should be cleansed to make way for the superior people who will follow.
I was kinda annoyed at the article for not giving any details on the kinds of policies they wanted there, even something as simple as better tax credits for having kids would go a long way towards making children affordable. And yet I am sure that’s not what these people are advocating for.
Note that none of these policies ever involve “giving.” It’s all taking this away, means-testing this, banning that, etc.
Baptist like to pick people who drank, did drugs and slept around to teach sunday school. This is no joke. They get some ‘reformed’ asshole with questionable decision making skills to instruct children and warn them of the dangers of having a good time.
All people have to do is stop donating money to religions and the religions lose their “power”.
The problem is the people who do donate want all this to happen.
The cult members just have to stop supporting the cult?!?
Look at captain obvious over here!
I’m kidding you a bit, but seriously, you’re just restating the problem.
Maybe it needs restating over and over until people get it and act on it?
Perhaps the message reaches someone who needs to hear it.
Southern Baptists are one step better than Al Queda in my mind. They should be outlawed as an extremist group.
That’s only because they don’t have the religious law in place yet.
I just had a look at the website of the church I once went to many decades ago, and it was interesting to see how all their bigoted positions were couched in layers of euphemism about “family”.
It’s as though their web guy tried writing what they really believed, read it back, and thought “we can’t say that out loud, it’s clearly unacceptable, how do we say this without saying it?”
Yep exactly.
Oh, cool! As a willfully childless person (even though I live with my partner and we have the necessary bits to try for children), I finally get to be one of the cool groups being ostracized by these stupid religious nuts. Hey Queer people! We get to hang out! Let’s party!
(I’ve been watching porn the whole time. Just let me have my moment feeling special.)
So if they want to use their influence for political ends, why are they tax exempt?
Because the law doesn’t matter when right-wing Jesus is on your side.
Gtfo with your logic. We don’t want your kind here.
- Jezus, probably
Remember kids, willful childlessness is the newspeak for vasectomy and histerectomy.
Any birth control
I’m getting a hysterectomy next month and I’m pumped. Having a uterus is the fucking worst.
My wife would agree. She has… so many womanly issues, but can’t find anyone to yank the damn thing out.
She wants no children.
I, her husband, had a vasectomy before we ever met.
We have no use for the damn thing and it just causes so many problems.
Along with the other commenter, if you’re near southern Illinois, I can point you towards the doctor my wife used.
Also here’s this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Djia_WkrVO3S4jKn6odNwQk7pOcpcL4x00FMNekrb7Q/edit?usp=sharing
It’s a list of doctors openly willing to do tubals. They might also do hysterectomies.
My doctor is on that list! I don’t wanna openly say who she is because I don’t wanna completely doxx myself, but I can reply to any DMs with her name if anyone wants a Pa recommendation. She’s great. First gynecologist that hasn’t tried to pressure me into wanting kids.
If you are in Pa or willing to drive there, DM me. I can send you the info of my doctor. She’s really open minded and is one of the few in the state that will sterilize women (taking out the fallopian tubes) just because they want it.
I have recurring endometriosis and we’ve just decided that a total hysterectomy to handle the issue for good is the best next step.
