You're picking one point in the headline that by itself sounds totally outrageous because in the mind of the low-information voter you read the headline and think to yourself a sketchy booth that says "free vasectomies!!!1" and somebody grabbing you in the middle of a convention saying "Kid, want a free vasectomy?". In the context of a health check in reproductive health RV that offers a ton of things, _including_ vasectomies in the context of an informed discussion with a health expert, it is not only totally reasonable, but it should be extended to a host of other services that can provided in a mobile clinic the same that mobile vaccination sites were provided during COVID.

  Normal people are in favor of abortion and reproductive health. The only way that's weird is if you want to dress it up as weird, which is what people who think you shouldn't be able to do with your body as you please believe.

    I used to be a normal person. Then I became a parent. It changed my view on reproductive health entirely. I am not religious or conservative. I simply believe, based on lived experience, that life begins at conception. The tone with which the liberal democrats approach reproductive health, which you are parroting in your comment, is basic, immature, and inhuman. Bringing a new human into this world is a beautiful indescribable experience and the responsibility is shared equally. I no longer believe in ceding my half of that responsibility and my input over the process for the first 9 months solely to the mother. I don’t support a political agenda that believes the choice to terminate a pregnancy is only a woman’s to make, ra ra. Come what may.
