Louisiana is the only state in the US that has physical castration as a legal punishment, and it was only instituted recently. One of the people who drafted the bill was a Democrat.
NPR: What to know about Louisiana’s new surgical castration law
One of the drafters of the bill, Democratic state Rep. Delisha Boyd, told NPR the law will be a strong deterrent for would-be child sex abusers and would protect children.
“Some of the critics say, you know, that’s cruel and unusual punishment. Well, I disagree. I think the cruel and usual punishment was the rape of that 5 year old," Boyd said.
Cutting off someone’s genitalia is certainly cruel, and as for being unusual?
The use of surgical castration as punishment, which is a permanent procedure that involves the surgical removal of the testicles or ovaries ostensibly to stop the production of sex hormones, is rare elsewhere around the world. The Czech Republic, Madagascar and a state in Nigeria have such laws on the books that have been strongly criticized by Amnesty International and other human rights organizations.
What a big fucking disappointment that woman is. And the defense of such an obviously unconstitutional law is “child rape is worse”. Really strong argument, idiot.
