    Default GA. bans genital piercing

    The bill would make such mutilation punishable by two to 20 years in prison. It makes no exception for people who give consent to have the procedure performed on their daughters out of religious or cultural custom.

    An amendment adopted without objection added "piercing" to the list of things that may not be done to female genitals. Even adult women would not be allowed to get the procedure.

    I completely disagree with defining what jewelry an adult can or can not wear on their own body . Also note that this ban does not apply to men, only to women ???

    Wow! They didn't even cite a single, rational reason for their ban!

    This has to be about the worst case of female control I've ever seen. It doesn't apply to male genitals, just female???? So a dude that wants to go get a PA or shaft barbell, all is good... but a female wants a hood piercing it's to be illegal? LOL

    I'd seriously move.. I couldn't live in a community that passes those kinds of bills. Shame on GA residents for putting such morons into office and not massively protesting such blatant displays of sexist discrimination.

    I personally take offense in this law. I have my hood pierced and also my belly button :wink:. This are my choices as an adult. The last time i checked as an adult I am responsible for myself legally and personally. I believe that it is outragious that this is only directed toward females. Isnt that a bit discramanating?

    oh and 2 to 20 years in prison???? What the hell, is it the same as smuggling crack, or killing people? DAMN! Sometimes the law is so retarded.

    What makes this act of stupidity so perplexing in that there are 160 members of the Georgia House and the bill passed unanimously. Certainly the folks representing the Atlanta area have heard of women getting these. I guess it will be left to some Federal "activist judge" to shoot it down.

    This reminds me of Alabama's vibrator ban a few years back, which thankfully WAS struck down in court. But Concerned Women for America, a far right politcal organization had a problem with that.

    Hrmmm.. the more I read about this and Atlanta, Georgia specifically.. the more I wonder if this is just sensationalistic journalism not telling the full story.

    Atlanta, Georgia has a massive population of African Immigrants which encompass a massive majority of Muslim families- that are quite frequently performing female genital mutilation for religious purposes on their children with much similar outlook as male circumcision is looked at elsewhere. Obviously, there is a severe difference in removing a good portion of a woman's clitoris!

    Some stats I pulled up by Google expressed that 77% of infant female genital mutilations occur in 12 cities, with Georgia being a top leader.

    I have a feeling the 160-0 push-through was to give the bill more leverage for the next step, where it will likely be bickered and ammended to more properly target the correct source of the problem. It seems the spirit may simply be to punish any adult performing "adult consentual" female genital mutilations of any kind, since by the books, parents have consentual rights for circumcision or other forms of religious genital tampering over their children.

    In MA, its actually illegal to pierce a clitoris. you can get a hood/labial piercing but not a clitoral piercing. can't get deep vaginal or deep penile piercings either. well, not to say you couldn't get them, itd just be illegal for the piercer to perform them, but im sure you can find some seedy piercer willing to do it. also illegal to pierce your neck(i think) in massachusetts. i understand they think there may be risks involved....but so what? shouldn't adults be allowed to take risks?

    i hate my state, think its very restrictive, but no clit piercings fine, as long as you could still pierce hood/labia. dont know many that actually have their clit pierced.

    What is becoming of our society???? I thought we were suppossed to be moving forward with the different rights and freedoms of race, religion, culture, and sex????
    This is purely sexiest discrimination!!! ITs disgusting that people feel as though they have a right to create a law to tell someone what they can and cannot do with their own bodys. How is it even possible to create such a law to ban female genital peircings?????
    On the other hand, I feel terrible for the poor child who was circumsized by her father....the possiblity that she will not ever be able to experiance an orgasm is tragic, but if indeed that sinero had anything to do with the decision to ban female gential peircing then the GA gov't is incredibly stupid to not realize those to things are of no similarity.
    And to ban sex toys???? *at a loss for words...WTF?????

    now that's some fucked up shit right there...

    but...georgia is ass backwards anyway (don't let a city like atlanta fool you)...doesn't surprize me in the least bit...

    guess it's just another way for the 'good old boys' to try to keep the women in their place...

    Why do some people still have to fight...to get the same opportunities...that are given to others??...

    I am not very impressed with the government lately.

    Someone mentioned that it might be a backlash to all the "liberal" stuff going on. I think all the liberal stuff is probably a backlash to the conservatism that has been going on.

    Let them keep up their foolishness - it will get them voted out of office because it is obvious a lot of people are not pleased with the way things have been going - seems like it is always 43% vs 47% on every issue lately.

    If the dems wanted a jingle against the rep's - just mention their desire to control soccer moms and what they are allowed to do.

    Ohio dosnt have nearly as many stupid laws as some other states. at least in most areas. they do control dancers quite a bit, but then again they generally don't enforce those laws that much.

    what I think is funny is how NY tells you that you can not smoke inside (unless its your own house or a cigar bar), but when it comes to strippers they just say "don't fuck 'em" and that seems about it. then if you get a speeding ticket in NY they wont tell you how much the damn thing is! that pissed me off, how am I suppost to know how much to send them? weridos....

    and they say we are free.......

    at least tell us the truth.

    Ok here's the part that really blew me away~


    Amendment sponsor Rep. Bill Heath, R-Bremen, was slack-jawed when told after the vote that some adults seek the piercings.

    "What? I've never seen such a thing," Heath said. "I, uh, I wouldn't approve of anyone doing it. I don't think that's an appropriate thing to be doing."


    How can he be sponsering a ban on adult piercings if he doesnt know that people seek and get them. ???

    This law is obviously suppost to be to protect little girls from female circumsition, which is great, but WOW is it worded poorly. :o

    well, remember it all comes down to enforcement. i have a fealing that even if this bill passes and is signed into legislature with the piercing ban it wouldn't be enforced. i think you'd still find plenty of piercers(good and reputable ones) willing to do female genital peircings. i also dont see the government spending much on vice-ops sending undercover officers into peircing parlors to solicite genital pericings. however, with the increased risk to the shop owner/piercer you would most likely see female genital peircings refrain from being LISTED as options and also carrying a higher price than male genital peircings(which is wrong). i wouldn't worry about not being able to get it done, you will....it will just cost more than it does now. This is still something to get pissed off about.

    with the circumcision thing, they have good intentions, then some jackass tacks this on and for some reason nobody questions it??? thats troubling. if passed i think we've shown on here that there's enough outrage out there to challenge the entire law and have it repealed by the ga supreme court. therefore, if they are seriously interested in making female circumcisions illegal, its in the legislatures best interest to re-write the bill excluding the piercings (to, by and for consenting adults) or they'll just be delaying the implementation of "protection" of young woman against the real barbaric practice. i dont think any of you have anything to worry about.

    but stuff like this is why im an anarchist.

    "...The irony is that if it is natural for men to be the dominant sex why do then men have to create very oppressive laws and customs against Women? If it is natural for men to be the dominant sex then they shouldn't need any laws, custom or propaganda to keep their place as the dominant sex. For instance the only reason we have laws against stealing is because many people do steal. If people didn't steal there would be no reason to have laws against this behavior....."

    "...This then means that oppressive laws and customs to keep women in a subservient position suggests that it is not natural for women to be the submissive sex. If it was natural for men to be the dominant sex then there would be no reason for men to have oppressive laws and customs to keep women in bondage...."
