I see your point, NCD. In other words, Sharia Law: Try it, you'll like it. LOL

Isn't fettering women a basic principle of Sharia Law? Hoods, no leaving the home, no education...maybe our own wingnut fundamentalists should think twice about banning Sharia, if they read it they might embrace it!

DD, the world has become so absurd, that sardonic satire is often the only way a sane person can react other than literally running into the streets screaming and futilely lashing out at strangers.

It's getting harder and harder to write satire these days as reality keeps upping the acceptable level of absurdity.

I agree, cruelty is sad, but cruelty codified is horrifying.

you know Smith, this is all so absurd to me that no wonder you and NCD attack it satirically or sardonically.

I have never heard about fetters during delivery in my entire life.

It was like i was living on another planet.

People are so goddamnably cruel at times. That I already know.

But to codify it?

As is so often the case, our female prison population has been chosen to be part of an involuntary pilot program to encourage the shackling of women to prevent abortions. If the program proves to be successful, the shackling of potentially pregnant women will become permissible in all states where abortions are still currently attainable, and the governor is a Republican. The shackling, of course, will have the added advantage of making it a lot easier for disabled men from both political parties to get laid ...

When I think of the irrational crazed mindset of the wackjobs of the right, I imagine anti-abortion restrictions that they may yet propose:

Safe and Sound Baby Act:

(1) Banning the sale of over the counter pregnancy tests, or allow the sale only of tests that always test negative until the third trimester.

(2) Banning a doctor from telling a woman she is pregnant until the 24th week of pregnancy or later, when abortions are no longer allowed in most states, as a means to save the unborn.

(3) OR instead of (2) legislating a 24 week waiting period after a doctor's office pregnancy exam during which the doctor cannot reveal if the woman is pregnant.

The GOP has already entered into telling doctors what doctors can say to patients, this would just be an extension of that precedent!
