Pennsylvania House Representative Chris Rabb proposed legislation over the weekend that would require men to undergo vasectomies at age 40 or after their third child. "It's levity on a very serious issue, but the bottom line is I want to create a conversation about how easily we accept government intervening into the health decisions of women, which should be between them and their family, and then saying what would it feel like if men were being regulated," he said. The proposal is satire, according to Rabb, and is just meant to spark a conversation. Rabb said that he thought it was appropriate to push the envelope to get people talking so he proposed legislation that would mandate a vasectomy for men within six weeks of turning 40 or after child number three. "There are all these bills and laws that regulate and restrict the bodily autonomy for women and girls, but not so much for men." "I thought it was important as a man to speak up about reproductive rights," Rabb told Harrisburg station WHP-TV. #ReproJustice #ReproductiveRights #AbortionIsHealthcare- Rep. I will be introducing a bill inspired by that requires all inseminators to undergo #vasectomies within 6 weeks of having their third child or 40th birthday, whichever comes first.
