Clueless in Georgia

Georgia House bans genital piercings for women

Georgia legislators are *so* out of touch it isn't even funny.

Then again, this *is* the state that rather than rescind a sodomy law after a lot of bad press about a het male getting sent to prison for admitting to having performed oral sex on his wife during a divorce hearing, instead passed a bill that released *only* him from prison while leaving all the other men imprisoned under the same law in prison.

That guy should never have been performing oral sex on his wife during a divorce hearing to begin with!

It's a bad amendment.

The intent of the law is to prevent FGM. This is a GOOD thing. I'm not so respectful of other cultures/religions as to grant them the right to mutilate their children in a way that completely destroys the capacity for normal sexual pleasure.

I agree that stopping FGM is a good thing. But...

It's not just that the amendment is bad. It's that it (and I suspect the "original" bill) are way too broad.

For example, if someone *chooses* that of their own free will, then it's their choice. I hold the same view with respect to the guys who cose circumcision, castration penectomy, and all those other genital mods out there.

Heck, I have to wonder if this law wouldn't outlaw "bottom surgery" for F2M transsexuals. Unless they wetre *incredibly* careful in their wording, I'd bet not.

Intent, probaly ok. Execution... way off.
