...it will be that thinking about sex but not "completing" it will be illegal. Once ya think about it, ya gotta have a child.
If ya think about it and don't do it, well...that's against the law and you'll be arrested.
I'm just imagining what it'll feel like to get arrested every 7 seconds. lol

I'd not seen this before last weekend, but was at a stop sign next to a couple who were probably in their forties. On the back of their SUV, they had a bumper sticker that read, "The choice is in the sex; not in the consequences".
To me, that pretty much sums up the thinking of the people who do not support freedom of choice. Their thinking is (and always has been) that women should be punished for having (heaven forbid, enjoying!!!) sex.
A pregnancy is a consequence - good grief!

leaders say about it. Women will have no say in the matter. It's up to the patriarchs.
