    It’s not even about having babies. It’s about control in general. Louisiana just passed physical castration as a punishment. Yes it is for one of the worst most disgusting things a person can do to another living being, but it leaves no path for redemption, it is irreversible, it is cruel and unusual, and it is about control. They’ll literally cut your balls off in Louisiana for molesting children.

      I think you’re defending the wrong side. if you’re molesting kids, fuck your balls, you’re lucky to be alive at that point.

        To be clear: they are penalizing “pedos” while simultaneously allowing (encouraging?) 13-year olds to get married. This is not about pedophilia but about gays.

        What part of my comment was defending child molesters? My point is that legalizing physical castration as a punishment for any crime at all, they have set the bar for what is considered cruel and unusual punishment below mutilation. Since our legal system is based on precedent, that means other forms of mutilation as punishment are now on the table in the courts.

        Also, the absolutely are women child molesters. You can’t physically cut a biological woman’s balls off. The punishment targets men specifically and does nothing to actually stop molestation in the future. Also, Louisiana has the highest rate of false guilty verdicts in the country and they are the ones cutting men’s balls off… Just saying.
