1. and free

3. No

25 cents. The cost of the gumball

[Ilsa]

2. Priceless!!! nt

[NightWatcher]

4. Damnit, Tom Brady got knocked up again. There goes the Superbowl

[Jamaal510]

7. +1

5. Availability of birth control is really less about gender and more about religion.

[Gravitycollapse]

8. Which is why condoms are so hard to purchase.

[Gore1FL]

9. Condoms are useful inventions opposed by the Catholic Church.

I'm not sure if they should come in gumball machines and taste like bacon, however.

[Gravitycollapse]

10. The point is ease of access to birth control exists along gendered lines.

Only recently has it been possible to purchase Plan B over the counter and that was met with a firestorm of protest from idiots near and far. But no one besides the most hardcore of religious cynics gives a fuck that there is literally an entire 6 foot section of condoms on display at any local Walgreens.

Every step of the way, expanding access to female oriented forms of contraception and birth control is subject to extreme push back.

[Gore1FL]

17. Condoms serve both parties.

I am not arguing that female oriented forms of contraception and birth control shouldn't be expanded. It should.

Don't blame men for it. Blame the religious fucknuts.

[LeftyMom]

15. Vending machines and flavor options aren't new developments.

[whopis01]

20. While not exactly gumball machines, condom vending machines are nothing new. And now we even have

12. Condoms are more than just birth control...

It's STD control. But even then, condoms are not entirely acceptable. In my state, you can't discuss condom use in high school because, gasp, sex!

6. "if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament"

attributed to the amazing florynce kennedy.

[Recursion]

11. If men could get pregnant, women would be men

I think a lot of the patriarchy is an evolved response to the fact that women get pregnant and men don't, no?

[Paulie]

13. It would be fine, maybe we would share more.

Male gets pod

Male has baby

[Jgarrick]

14. ...Then we'd be in an episode of "Sliders". And it would be a really bad episode.

But I repeat myself.

[Mira]

16. ...and abortion would be a sacrament! N/t

[Aerows]

18. If men could get pregnant

men would value children more than they do. They wouldn't be against school lunch programs, because that could be the baby they carried for 9 months if something happened to them financially.

[Victor_c3]

19. From the stand point of a complete horn-dog male

and being completely selfish and only thinking about myself, giving women better access to birth control gives women one less reason to not have sex with me. I personally like to give women as few reasons as possible to not have sex with me.

I just don't get it.

It's really a no-brainer.

This is one of those situations where republican guys really need to think with their penises a little more.
