Georgia Bans Genital Piercings
No woman may get a genital piercing in Georgia or she'll face 2-20 years in prison. Doesn't matter if she consents to it, doesn't matter if she's an adult. And please notice that I'm only using "she". This ban only applies to women. It passed in the Georgia house 160 for it and not one person against it.
Sigh.
And on the same sort of note, US Senate passed a bill defining a fertilized egg/embryo/fetus as a human being. Yes, with rights. But no worries! They promise this won't be applied to abortion debate! For serious!
I wouldn't get a piercing anywhere and I doubt I'd ever have an abortion, but isn't it nice that people are deciding for me that I won't have to!
To quote Yakov Smirnoff: "What a country!"
