Georgia Legislature trying to Ban Genital Piercings

Wonder it only applied to women....

That's what surprises me the most, that it was unanimous and that not one of them objected to it. Seems hard to believe...

It's not even a little bit hard to believe! It's an indicator of what many already know. Politicians are TOTALLY out of touch with the people the "represent".

Well no duh. After all, if we don't have daddies or husbands to tell us what to do, then we NEED the government.

Goddamn! Are people in GA really THAT DUMB?!

Fourth, like Betty White said in Lake Placid, "this is the part where, if I were a man, I'd tell [the government] to suck my dick".

Sorry.... missed this.

Anya, will you marry me?

up to 20 years in prison???????
I'd shoot a cop and mutilate his body and leave bite marks all over him/her if i was facing that long. What happened to punishment proportiante to the harm done?.
can a pierced clit do that much damage to the collective?
wow...

The ban was a last-minute add-on to a bill outlawing involuntary genital female mutilation, an ancient ritual practiced by some cultures.

Several senators pushed for the Senate bill that was amended in the House after hearing about a 2-year-old girl from Gwinnett County who was taken by her father to have the procedure done. But the bill passed Wednesday goes much further — ending the voluntary, decorative piercings that have been highlighted on HBO specials and in urban subculture.

"The original intent of the amendment was to make illegal the voluntary piercing of female genitalia for decorative purposes," said Rep. Bill Heath (R-Bremen).

Heath said that while some piercings do fall under the category of involuntary genital mutilation, he is fine with banning the voluntary procedures as well. "I just don't think it's appropriate," Heath said.

The bill only regulates female genital piercings. Heath said he doesn't support male genital piercings, but won't draft legislation to address the issue.

pfffft.

Sen. Nadine Thomas (D-Decatur), one of the key backers of the original Senate bill, was incensed about the amendment. She said a bill originally designed to protect women and girls now limits what women can do with their bodies.

"This is just another stone being thrown at women," Thomas said. "What he is doing is diminishing what we are trying to do to protect women and girls. It is gender discrimination."

For non Georgia peeps Mr. Heath is from Bremen which is Carroll County, a notoriously conservative non metro Atlanta area.

And I just do not think it is any of your goddamn business what I do with my nipples or clitoris said this Georgia voter. I personally do not think comb-overs are appropriate but that's a personal decision isnt it?
