    I didn’t see the party of the politician in the article, so no idea if it is written in jest or just regular old Republican whackiness.

    The most entertaining part is that it is written as applying to men, but as written it is gender neutral and would penalize menstruation.

    Edit: It is a Dem having a lark.

      i’m afraid that the fascists would take the bill up and actually vote to ban masturbation. especially the bible thumpers.

        There are a number of active laws that were rendered unconditional by Lawrence v. Texas. In addition to the anti-sodomy laws, this invalidated most laws restricting sex toys.

        Lawrence was explicitly called out as being on the chopping block in the Jackson decision, so these are slated for a comeback. The only real limitation is that SCOTUS needs a case, and the challenger needs to show standing.
