Pro-zygote, anti-woman bills are being presented all across the nation, in an effort to awaken the evangelical Republican base before the election of 2012. Most of these bills have been written by, or championed via Personhood USA.
In Oklahoma, our not-so-distant neighbor, Senate Bill 1433 states a fetus "at every stage of development (has) all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents of this state." If Senate Bill 1433 becomes a law, all forms of abortion and various forms of contraception could potentially be considered murder, and therefore illegal.
Democratic State Senator Constance Johnson, attempting to make a point, attached
an amendment to the Oklahoma bill that would ban the spilling of semen in any location other than a woman's vagina. Unfortunately, Senator Johnson then withdrew her amendment, which would have made masturbation illegal.
