Stupid Republican idea of the day

Hey, I see the “Stupid Liberal…” thread is up to nearly 700 posts, and this is around 5,200. Yeah, that seems about the right ratio.

Actually, the “Stupid Liberal” thread, like this one, is mostly about Stupid Republican ideas.

Blame me for the numbers if you wish. If I’d known score was kept, I’d not have padded out the other thread with posts like this one:

@septimus

A Democrat State Senator in Oklahoma has proposed an amendment to a personhood bill:

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.

She withdrew the amendment after her betters pointed out that this denies men control over their own bodies. Still, what will liberals think of next? :dubious:

The same news article mentions that

Virginia State Senator Janet Howell introduced a bill that would have forced men to receive a rectal exam to receive erectile dysfunction medication.

It doesn’t say explicitly whether Howell has the Big D-for-Dumb by her name, but we all know it’s the liberal donkeys who are statist and authoritarian, so I’ll bet that way.

(BTW, I’m sure those of us who believe in the Rights of Life are proud that American legislators are finally recognizing that human life begins with a healthy ovum. But that ovum will die unless it is fertilized. I hope these laws are written to make clear that women who fail to fertilize their healthy ova are committing manslaughter.)

The idea that an ovulating woman is committing manslaughter if she refuses impregnation attempts seems extreme, but also a consequence of some recent Republican legislation… I wonder if any Republican politicians are trying out this line on their aides? :dubious:
