Will voters finally realize that this isn't about "the children" and is all about controlling women?

Not just controlling women. Penalizing anyone who has non reproductive sex.
Absolutely not. Only women should be punished for such a heinous act. Men simply cannot control their urges /s.
I'm pretty sure most voters already do. Problem is, plenty of Wrong Wing voters think that's the best part.
Now I'm not telling anyone to do anything... but nobody has ever had a baby by pounding your best bro in the ass while you stroke him off. Same with your gal pals. Make it a competitive event! Learn new things and create memories you can cherish for a lifetime as you scream louder and louder with every shaking orgasm, in sync with the boys.
Just something to think about the next time you get frisky.
(tomorrow's headline: "popularity of gay sex spikes 9700% overnight thanks to republicans")
It's actually vasectomies which have spiked in popularity — congress can't take that away once you've had one.
I mean…
If the government can take away the right to basic reproductive healthcare for half the population, there’s no reason they couldn’t do it for the other half. They likely wouldn’t, because the right wingers obviously believe men deserve more rights than women, but let’s not underestimate the government’s capacity for making terrible policy in furtherance of some fantastical pseudo-purity culture that only exists in their minds.
Oh, I see your edit now. You meant they can’t take it away after they’ve already had one. True that.
Yet.

It's not even about having babies. It's about control in general. Louisiana just passed physical castration as a punishment. Yes it is for one of the worst most disgusting things a person can do to another living being, but it leaves no path for redemption, it is irreversible, it is cruel and unusual, and it is about control. They'll literally cut your balls off in Louisiana for molesting children.

Great idea.
Treat the guys to a fat knot this weekend, they'll keep coming back for more. ;p
Alternative headline: Senate GOP Makes It Clear That They Are Impregnation Fetishists
This is a show vote. It's not serious... It’s a phony vote because contraception, to my knowledge, is not illegal. It’s not unavailable.
If you say so, Sen. Corbyn.
The vote is part of a larger push by Senate Democrats to draw attention to how the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has affected all aspects of reproductive health...
They confirm what the republicans are saying in the very next sentence? Who's editing these articles?
Not YET illegal. Not YET unavailable. There's several states looking at ways to change that. Not surprisingly the same states that already have banned abortion or are working on that as well.
I haven't heard about this. What states are trying to ban birth control?
It's both — the Democrats are trying to highlight important policy differences, and they knew in advance that the Republicans wouldn't vote for it, making it something of a show vote.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Democratic senators have also introduced a legislative package to establish a nationwide right to in-vitro fertilization, which is expected to soon come up for a vote.
That follows an Alabama state Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that the destruction of embryos could be considered “wrongful deaths.” While the state’s Legislature took action aimed at protecting IVF in the wake of the ruling, Democrats argue that this is only one example of how access to reproductive health care is under threat across the nation.
“In the nearly two years since the Supreme Court threw out Roe v. Wade, our nation has seen the horrific consequences of Republicans’ anti-science, anti-woman crusade that has put IVF at risk for millions of Americans who rely on it to start or grow their family,” said Illinois Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who has conceived through IVF.
Republicans have introduced their own bills on IVF and contraception in an effort to prove that Democrats are unfairly attempting to paint them as extreme.
The emergency contraceptive pill sold as Plan B One-Step does not prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the womb and does not cause an abortion, the US Food and Drug Administration has said.
The pill, which is a strong dose of the birth control hormone levonorgestrel, prevents or delays the release of an egg from a woman’s ovary – a step that occurs well before pregnancy.
