Brilliant Democratic State Senator Tacks ‘Every Sperm is Sacred’ Clause to Personhood Bill


Brilliant Democratic State Senator Tacks ‘Every Sperm is Sacred’ Clause to Oklahoma’s Personhood Bill

Undaunted by the monumental failure of Personhood USA's push to declare fertilized human eggs exactly the same as grown ass adults in Mississippi, conservatives in Oklahoma have pushed forward with their own Personhood Bill. But one Democratic smartass isn't having it, and she finds the whole thing so absurd that she tacked on an amendment of her own that would outlaw the spilling of semen in any location other than a woman's vagina.

State Senator Constance Johnson of Oklahoma City has served Oklahoma's 48th Senate District since 2005, but it was yesterday's introduction of Senate Bill 1433 that really pushed her over the edge. The bill sought to define human life as beginning at the moment of conception, before it's even implanted in the womb, and offers full legal protection to those tiny multicelled lumps. In the words of the bill, "the unborn child at every stage of development (has) all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents of this state."

Johnson submitted an amendment of her own to the bill, which would have added the language,

However, any action in which a man ejaculates or otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a woman's vagina shall be interpreted and construed as an action against an unborn child.


That means ...

SNIP

Otherwise, this country will be inundated by these anti-women laws by the American equivalent of the Taliban.

There's no shortage of right wing Stepford Wives who support this kind of bullshit. I'd say let's vote more Talibanners out.

Since they refused to amend it to cover both genders, I wonder if it could be challenged as discriminatory if it did pass?

Every time a woman has a period she's killing a baby, she's having a natural abortion! We must not allow that! All fertile women should have a baby every 9 months!
