I’ve had this post on the back burner for months, since a commenter at Shakesville (I think) said, you could never get away with restricting men’s access to Viagra the way state legislatures have restricted women’s access to abortion in America. And no, you couldn’t. But interestingly enough, it’s pretty easy to make a set of arguments for restricting access to Viagra, that are pretty similar to the arguments for restricting access to abortion. For the most part, all you have to do is search the text, and replace “woman” with “man”, “abortion” with “Viagra”, and “ends a human life” with “begins a human life”. (If pre-born human life is that important to you, you should take its creation as seriously as its destruction.) Then there are a few restrictions that claim they’re protecting women, and you just have to look at the flip-side: preventing men from hurting women. For some of the restrictions, I’ve invented an imaginary evil radical feminist anti-het-sex conspiracy to substitute for the Religious Right.
Every restriction on access to Viagra I propose below, is either a fact of life, or a legislated restriction, on abortion in at least one, and often many, American states. When the restrictions and their justifications are imposed on men, they look pretty radically man-hating (never mind that being unable to get a hardon is nowhere near as traumatic as going through childbirth against your will), but in their anti-abortion form, it’s not just fringe whackaloons making the arguments I’ll list, it’s people elected to public office.

Science and religion do not mix. Science deals with observable reality and provable fact while religion deals with myth, magic and superstition. Combining the two is a prescription for horrible science and laughable predictions. This video is shining example of both in which through the wonders of science we can finally see one of the proteins that make up our bodies. But wait, there is something unusual about the shape of the protein… *mind flatulence* and then *boom*…godidit! Awesome!
Whoa!
Or not.
George Carlin in his usual raw, uncensored style examines how silly the anti-choice, anti-woman position is.

Edward Current makes me laugh. I enjoy this videos and especially the comment sections where people routinely miss the satire and respond as if EC was playing what he says utterly straight. But enough! Beware god-mockers, its double down time in the torture for eternity sweepstakes.
That James Cameron, he so funny…
