Wins at life
Oklahoma state senator Constance Johnson has a great sense of humor. To poke fun at the sheer absurdity of the Personhood Amendment which would give zygotes the same rights as extra-utero-American citizens, Senator Johnson added the following language as an amendment to the 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.
Of course, such an amendment would ban all sexual activity, including masturbation.
I have to say, while the amendment was intended in jest and as a nod to Monty Python’s “Every Sperm is Sacred,” if the bill defines human life as beginning at the moment of conception, before it’s even implanted in the womb, then why shouldn’t life begin as soon as sperm squirts its way out of some dude’s penis?
And, to quote Think Progress commenter Donna Foust: “So, if a man uses a condom, is it kidnapping?”
Indeed.

As with the Congresswoman from…Virginia, I think it was, who added the prostrate exam for men who want Viagra amendment, this amendment gets a “FUCK YEAH!” from me. I hope we see more amendments like these every time the GOP tries to wage its War on Women™.
Perhaps she also gets her legal advice from Legally Blonde!
That was the first thing that popped into my head to.
The phrase reckless abandonment had taken on a whole new meaning for me because of that movie.
But it is nice to see there are some politicians who are aware of the stupidity of these laws.
To quote Bill Hicks: “I’ve tossed universes… in my underpants…. while NAPPING! That, my friends, is special.“
I think Bill Donohue just busted a nut…so to speak.
Sen. Johnson wins the week.
If the ammendment passes, I guess I cannot
have sex anymore or face jail time.
