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

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.
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.
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.
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.
"We are miserable and we want you to be too !"
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.
So if they want to use their influence for political ends, why are they tax exempt?
"Willful childlessness?" Is that like the opposite of incel? Volcel?
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).
Did it in my mid 20s before it was all the rage. Couldn't be happier.
The snip was the best money I ever spent. I wear condoms because I don't want a disease, but one thing I ain't worried about is getting someone pregnant.
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.
Can these fucking Christian extremists stop ruining everyone else's lives
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.
Ban birth control in your area.
Story time - When I was a kid you had to get condoms through a family planning clinic or by crossing a border and many chose the latter. It was gone by the time I became old enough for it to be an issue for me.
Thankfully I live in the same country where there would immediately be government ending riots if there was any attempt to ban any form of birth control. Hell, the cops wouldn't even stop the riots, they'd probably join in.
I hadn't considered that though in fairness. It's just such a crazy notion.
I'm so tired of religious extremists trying to force their shitty Puritanical views on the whole world.
And since Blue States contribute more to taxes than they take, and vice versa for red, we are literally funding them dragging us back to the dark ages.
All people have to do is stop donating money to religions and the religions lose their "power".
Look at captain obvious over here!
I'm kidding you a bit, but seriously, you're just restating the problem.
You can say whatever you please, but we all know it is hot air.
White Christian Conservatives are some of the most insulated-from-consequences people in the world.
Southern Baptists? I think you left out all their other usual targets: Catholics, spicy food, jazz, orgasms for fun, bright colors not associated with flags or maybe a football team, female orgasms, singing, alcohol, drag shows, salads with less than 51% mayonnaise content, men using umbrellas, single mothers, showing people kissing on TV or movies, Jews, Muslims, really any brown person, wasabi, mangoes, and aged cheese.
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.
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.)
Southern Baptists are one step better than Al Queda in my mind. They should be outlawed as an extremist group.
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"
The Southern Baptist Church is a Satanic cult. If your religion leads you to hate, you are not worshiping God, you're worshiping the Devil. They're devil worshipers, the whole lot of them.
As someone who left the Southern Baptist cult as soon as my brain developed, this is nothing new.
Can't wait until they all burn in hell.
