    I think they’re for performing the vasectomies as alluded to in the second panel. I assumed the turps is for make-shift antiseptic.

      OP just made it sound like they are needed for any type of protest or demonstration, so I assumed they had use beyond just reproductive rights marches. Plus, turpentine can be used as an antiseptic, but there are lots of less conspicuous antiseptics available.

      I like your answer, too, though.

        Know how many times you’ll find yourself out and about and suddenly needing to perform an emergency, involuntary vasectomy and then discover you left your tin snips and turpentine at home?

        Only once. You only make that mistake once. Keep it in your daily carry.
