    My kids are all IVF. We spent a lot of money on that. Money comes from countless work hours. On the sentimental side, it was a horrible rollercoaster ride of having to follow an injection schedule, going to the doc for check-ups or for removing eggs or for jacking off into a cup right next to the doctor’s office. Lots of embarrassing moments. My kids are awesome and I would do it all over again. Fuck these project 2025 assholes. If I want to be gay and get IVF done, I will. I don’t need to ask others for permission or legality. That’s what freedom is about. That’s what American is about.

        That’s what American is all about? LOL 😂. I just tossed that in like salt on a dead cow 🍔 burger. Or a salad 🥗.

          Okay, sure, there’s definitely American exceptionalism. But freedom? Most of American freedoms had to be fought over and are relatively recent. Woman’s rights and gender rights have declined recently, so please, keep striving for that exceptional ideal.

            People having basic human rights isn’t what I’d call ‘exceptional’, especially when many places already do far better.
