It's in keeping with the conservative idea of small government, and minimal interference in personal freedoms.

Well, ovum are very small so this fits within the bounds of "small government" because we're governing small things. Why? What did you think we meant by the "small government" phrase we've been saying all of these years? -Conservatives probably
“I want a government small enough to fit up your ass.”- Vance probably.
“So your for gay rights?”
“Wait… what?”
"I want a government small enough to fit my micropenis in" - JD couch fucker Vance

I realize you’re joking, but he doesn’t have a micro-penis. He bought a very big one from fleshlight .
shifted away from being more anarchistic in nature to authoritarian. its going to see the split between libertarians (who are more anarchistic) and religious fundamentalists (who are more authoritarian)

The brain trust should streamline ejaculation surveillance programs instead. Ejaculation without a pregnancy? Right to jail. Right away.
FORCING your Daughter to tell the Government when she Bleeds from her Vagina is NOT WEIRD SMALL GOVERNMENT! DRAG QUEENS need to be ROUND UP and Jailed!
ROUND UP
It's the little touches like that which make your comments so good
It's almost like they're trying to lose this election. What next? Virginity inspections?
I don't think you understand how many oppressive shitty people are in this country. The Taliban are alive and well here in America.
Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf of the Southern policies of Jim Crow as an inspiration for Germany's genetic policies.
We needed to finish reconstruction, instead we let the filth slime back into power.
I do, I just don't think they're the majority.
Thanks to the electoral college, they don't need to be a majority to get a Trump presidency.
Help make sure the majority against it shows up at the polls
Genuinely surprised they haven't called for jus primae noctis yet.
Sounds foreign, they won't like that.
Please, they'd all offer their wives and daughters willingly.
Nah, this is due to their base's support being absolutely unwavering. This is a level of propagandistic control never before seen in the United States. Joseph Goebbels would fucking blush.
Please, they'll run up the score in the south, get 80-90% easily.
Yes, even the women somehow.
Please don't give them ideas.
Nah, it’s more like when you have a hammer, everything is a nail.
Conservatives only have one play, it’s to just keep going more right (as in, privatize things more and more to keep “fixing” things).
They have already gone after abortion.
What’s that? Fertility rate is low? We just got to try harder!
"Early menopause? Nah, we think you have had 4 abortions this year. Prove you didn't or go to prison."
I guess we shouldn't expect better from the party of bad female anatomy, sex education repression, and couch fucking. Weirdos.
The party that believes that a successful pregnancy is proof that women weren't legitimately raped
Todd Akin, Missouri’s Republican Senate candidate, sparked controversy with a claim, made in a TV interview posted Sunday, that victims of “legitimate rape” very rarely get pregnant because their bodies prevent them from doing so.
Speaking to Charles Jaco on the Jaco Report on St. Louis’s Fox station, Akin was answering a question about allowing abortions in the case of rape. He said, “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Todd Akin did apologize and then decided to make it worse.
In July 2014, WND Books published Akin's book, Firing Back: Taking on the Party Bosses and Media Elite to Protect Our Faith and Freedom. In it, he said that he regretted apologizing, because "by asking the public at large for forgiveness, I was validating the willful misinterpretation of what I had said." He also defended his original comments and attacked various Republicans for "wronging" him...
This is gross and weird, and I can't understand the psychology that goes on inside of people who are so lacking and self-awareness and are this messed up in the head.
Menstrual Surveillance Programs.
Menstrual Surveillance Programs!
Menstrual Surveillance Programs!!!

Ok. Were there. We’re at THAT point in this shitty timeline. We need to start clearing our calendars for the next few years. Where’s everybody meeting?
Right under the Tree Of Liberty.
Time to do some watering?
I've got my tricorne hat on and everything.
It’s like they’re using an abusive spouse handbook to make policies lmao
Well of course those perverts are ok with this.
Oh, FUCK THESE GUYS
They're working towards making that a mandatory policy too
Damn that's a pretty weird small government stance to want to constantly sniff out menstrual blood
Trump: anyone who can grab a pussy can be a pussy inspector.
His reforms of the FBI will be very thorough, they will finally take their original role as Female Body Inspectors.
Guess I'll end up in jail or dead then because ain’t no way I'll participate in bullshit like this.
At what point do we start Civil War II? Where can I sign up?
Or people can stop voting these prices of human shit into office.
Sadly, America has proven that it is full of dumb-dumbs and there will always be people who will vote pieces of shit into office.
i don't know if the red states would object to the blue states seceding or vice versa, so instead we'd be looking at american interventionism 3: this time it's personal
Trump the period checker and chief.
They are out of their minds
I don't know if I trust this program. Let's first test it by surveiling how frequently men are unsuccessful in creating a baby. /s
As proud as I am of my 100% failure rate, I'd likely feel uncomfortable with something tracking where, when, and with whom (or more often, what) I'm tricking my body into believing it's attempting to pass on genetic code.
I can't speak for effectiveness myself, but there are FOSS alternatives out there for my android peeps.
All found on FDroid which (as far as I'm aware) is android only.
