Brilliant Democratic State Senator Tacks ‘Every Sperm is Sacred’ Clause to Oklahoma’s Personhood Bil

http://jezebel.com/5883026/brilliant-democratic-state-senator-tacks-every-sperm-is-sacred-clause-to-oklahomas-personhood-bill

Undaunted by the monumental failure of Personhood USA's push to declare fertilized human eggs exactly the same as grown ass adults in Mississippi, conservatives in Oklahoma have pushed forward with their own Personhood Bill. But one Democratic smartass isn't having it, and she finds the whole thing so absurd that she tacked on an amendment of her own that would outlaw the spilling of semen in any location other than a woman's vagina.

State Senator Constance Johnson of Oklahoma City has served Oklahoma's 48th Senate District since 2005, but it was yesterday's introduction of Senate Bill 1433 that really pushed her over the edge. The bill sought to define human life as beginning at the moment of conception, before it's even implanted in the womb, and offers full legal protection to those tiny multicelled lumps. In the words of the bill, "the unborn child at every stage of development (has) all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents of this state."

Johnson submitted an amendment of her own to the bill, which would have added the language,

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.

That means no masturbating. No wet dreaming. No blow jobs or facials or pulling out and coming on your lady's stomach, dudes

How can you protect them if you don't know they exist? Webcams in the bedroom? All rooms? Mandatory weekly pregnancy testing? These 'small government' Republicans sure have 'big government' ideas for all of us.

Test the contents to see if there is a dead "person" in there. Charge a woman with murder if there is. Have lawyers, and doctors, testify in her trial whether it was murder, manslaughter, or natural death.

Oh, yeah. Think they want to do THAT?

Every woman of childbearing age should probably lawyer up, just in case. And don't tell the Fundies that "god' is the #1 abortion provider the world has ever had. He's killed 100,000,000,000+ babies! I wonder if he can be tried in absentia?

We have to develop our fertility technology so that EVERY SINGLE SPERM has its very own viable egg, and hence its own immortal soul. Every single sperm. Every one.

EVERY sperm is sacred.
