(Errrrr, NOT that this applies to ME...lol)
Apparently a vital legal right of women is being taken away in the state of Alabama. Taken from Neal Boortz's site
"UH OH. THOSE OF YOU IN ALABAMA PUT AWAY YOUR VIBRATORS
Last year vibrators became legal in Alabama. That was last year. This is now.
U.S. District Judge Lynwood Smith ruled last year that the Alabama legislature had no legitimate interest in passing a law banning sex toys. Now a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta has disagreed. The new ruling? Alabama has a "legitimate interest in public morality."
The Alabama Attorney General, Bill Pryor, is elated. No word yet if he is going to start enforcing the law before appeals are exhausted.
Imagine --- if the law stands, Alabama can put a woman in jail for one year and fine her $10,000 for going into the privacy of her bedroom in her home --- with nobody else around --- and using any device to stimulated her privates.
That's the Alabama view of freedom"
Btw, this is NOT a sexual discussion topic, but rather a question of whether governmental agencies should have THAT much power in our private lives. I personally feel that it's none of the State of Alabama's darn business. Bah humbug.
