It's like criminalizing the sex act itself and punishing people for life over one mistake. Fundamental extremists just want power and control over anyone so they have an element they can subjugate and abuse.

Just like those countries that are criminalizing homosexuality. I think, why? All I can fathom is they need a whipping boy to punish, through no fault of their own. Some class distinction to separate the masses and instill fear and violence. To me it's private business in both matters. Small government my ass

Maybe it's just all part and parcel of this brave new world?
