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"

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 7 hours ago

thier trans obsession, must because they all love watch trans porn.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

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.

Remember kids, willful childlessness is the newspeak for vasectomy and histerectomy.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 24 points 14 hours ago

Any birth control

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'm getting a hysterectomy next month and I'm pumped. Having a uterus is the fucking worst.

[–] Case@lemmynsfw.com 17 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

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.

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

hey, I target porn too! Lots and lots of porn!

Can these fucking Christian extremists stop ruining everyone else's lives

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago

We all generally let them because we don't like confronting people in public spaces because everyone is too insecure about social perception.

[–] DannyMac@sh.itjust.works 3 points 18 hours ago

Inscribed on their swords and shields are "Won't somebody please think of the children!"

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 144 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I've never know a happy Southern Baptist. I'm not interested in being as miserable as them.

[–] olympicyes@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Heh, heard that one with Mormon instead

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 1 points 12 hours ago

Cheerful Baptist, really. I think its on accounta all the soda.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] KingOfSleep@lemmy.ca 100 points 1 day ago

The Southern Baptist only exist because the other Baptists were against slavery. Fuck every single one of them.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 123 points 1 day ago (8 children)

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!

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.

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

"Willful childlessness?" Is that like the opposite of incel? Volcel?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

It means getting an abortion when your pastor rapes you.

[–] DannyMac@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago

Thanks for quoting this. It makes way more sense than the way I first read the headline as "Willful childishness."

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Lol, you don't have to be celibate to be willfully childless. I have plenty of friends that got the snip/knot before having a kid because they don't want one. And they are some of the sluttiest motherfuckers I know (and they'd take that as the compliment it was).

Can't wait until they all burn in hell.

It's people like them that make we wish I believed in Hell.

So if they want to use their influence for political ends, why are they tax exempt?

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.

Willful childlessness is such a hilarious concept. I'm rollin' around here.

What are they gonna do? Check if you're having unprotected sex sufficiently? Check how many miscarriages you've had? HAHAHAHAh. Fuckin' donkeys.

edit: Small gubment.
