Oklahoma Democrat Adds ‘Every Sperm Is Sacred’ Amendment To Personhood Bill

Thinkprogress:

State Senator Constance Johnson of Oklahoma City has served Oklahoma’s 48th Senate District since 2005, but it was yesterday’s introduction of Senate Bill 1433 that really pushed her over the edge.The bill sought to define human life as beginning at the moment of conception, before it’s even implanted in the womb, and offers full legal protection to those tiny multicelled lumps. In the words of the bill, “the unborn child at every stage of development (has) all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents of this state.”

Johnson submitted an amendment of her own to the bill, which would have added the language,

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.

“Among other things, Johnson’s amendment would essentially outlaw oral sex, anal sex, and masturbation.”

Hilarious! Except for the part where men want to legislate complete control over women’s bodies, but would not stand for us to do the same.
