Sperm Are People Too!

[Souj]

I'm shocked that people didn't immediately realize this was an ironic political statement from the thread title alone.

slow on the uptake around here

Even if this is some "ironic" bill, there have been about 100 more retardedly stupid bills that have been suggested seriously.
And thread title itself doesn't mean anything. There aren't too many thread titles on BG that are serious even if the article itself is.

It's not about being slow on the uptake. More about having lost faith in mankind.

The fact that it doesn't surprise me that this could be real is what saddens me the most.

I don't know why people make it seem it like this bill sounds SO crazy when real things just as crazy have infact been floated through government.

Wait, almost every single poster on the first page of this topic didn't realise this was an ironic political statement in opposition to anti-contraception/abortion legislation and thought it was a serious proposal? Wow.

I feel like that's more of a statement to how retarded politics is getting lately, in that people could seriously believe something like this happened, than anything else.

I thought it had to be BS/a stunt of some sort, but I'd be lieing if I didn't admit that part of me thought it could very well be true.

I'm pretty sure I've heard more ridiculous shit than even that proposed (by people actually being serious).

the woosh is strong with all of you, goodness gracious

this sort of tactic is used a lot lately

propose a bill to test welfare recipients for drugs? ok, only if we can also drug test legislators. ope! that bill failed.

propose a bill to require an unnecessary ultrasound prior to abortion? ok, only if we can require an unnecessary digital rectal exam for all guys before they are prescribed viagra. that didn't pass either? oh.

Happens a lot. no one actually thinks sperm are people. well, no one who isn't a retard, anyway.

I'd like to believe you, Sera. Key words being "I'd like to".

I read this as a jab at corporate personhood because I had forgotten about the women's medical rights thing. Either way, it still fits. We can grant personhood to corporations, why can't we grant personhood to sperm? And on that same line, is it murder if a corporation is shut down? Who gets charged with the crime?

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

Banks should be charged with homicide then, seeing as they've shut down several companies.
