To highlight how absolutely stupid this bill is, it sounds like it would outlaw menstruation and nocturnal emissions.

Land of the free.

Edit: it sounds like this is intentionally facetious to point out the absurdity of other pro-life bills.

I would love to outlaw menstruation too but my fucking body won't listen to me

Careful, that post could be used against you in the court of law!

Didn't you hear? Our bodies answer directly to the government now

It respects the law.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 47 points 4 days ago

Yes, correct, it is as absurd as pro-life ideas.

It's really telling how much the Overton window in the US has shifted that you thought this was sincere to start with.

TBH it's more that I have a naive work ethic and assume someone performing such a serious and impactful job would only do so sincerely, but I agree.

Nah, it ahows you how fast people are to comment without reading the article.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Menstruation is already outlawed if out includes an unimplanted but fertilized egg.

It's just very hard to prove.

Uh, yeah?

If your weiner can't behave when you are AFK it should be in jail!
