Republican lawmakers are drafting new legislation that will make
marriage a requirement for motherhood in the state of Indiana,
including specific criminal penalties for unmarried women who do
become pregnant "by means other than sexual intercourse."

I just have no words.

Is this some sort of imbecile nesting ground?

Shalmaneser called. He said that eugenics legislation is too much like fiction, and to stop it now before all non-Aryans are deported.

I blame it on the toxic smoke from Gary that lake winds blow all over that state. There's no other rational explanation.

How about specific criminal penalties for Republicans who exhibit traits similar to Khan Noonien Singh?

^ What they said!

All this governmental interference in matters of very personal rights to the persuit of personal fulfilment are really pissin' me off!

My strong suspicion is that this legislation is an underhanded way of saying 'Lesbians won't be allowed to have and raise children in our glorious God-fearing state. Oh, and if we can figure out how to whomp single mothers or anybody else who doesn't get married and fuck in the missionary position only on church-approved days solely for the purpose of begetting children in a Christian marriage, so much the better.'

But this is of a piece with other legislation aimed at suppressing 'immoral (read homosexual) lifestyle choices'.

Heather WILL have a mommy AND a daddy in Indiana, dammit!

Now excuse me while I go vomit.

I'm linking to this.

This is absolutely insane.

I hate to sound like a "love it or leave it" wingnut, but I can't help thinking that Repubs who long for a land where women are legally subjugated to men's will, might not be happier in, say, Iran. Or Saudi Arabia.

Anyone with their ear to the ground in Indiana know whether this has any chance of even getting out of committee and on to the floor?

Hey, I have a GREAT idea!!!1!

Why don't we, like, re-introduce stoning to death for women who aren't virgins on their wedding night???//$ If it was good enough for semi-literate Middle Eastern tribespeople in the 6th century BC, it ought to be good enough for 21st-century Indiana!1111111! Right?

Yours, b1ff W. Bush

(P.S. Of course, I suppose with all this goddamnliberal "equal rights" crap, the goddamnliberals would try to make us introduce stoning to death as the penalty for every 14-year-old wanking to a copy of Playboy, too. What a lot of bloody savages, are they out of their tiny goddamnliberal minds?)

because we all know that children in two parent homes are safe and raised well in secure loving environments...oh wait..that wasn't MY home were I was beaten on almost daily and belittle to the point that I barely made it through my teenage years without killing myself (tried a couple of times) but you know we must keep someone from having children who actually WANTS children and goes through such rigors to be able to have them and we must punish them for the radical heathen satan worshipers they are

Dude. This is reminding me of Fortress (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106950/).

Just another example of too many people so worried about what everyone else is doing that they forget about doing the right thing, themselves.
