Alabama has made a decision to stand strong against convicted child molesters. Because most Americans agree that criminals who steal the innocence of children are among the worst of the worst, Alabama has decided to pass a chemical castration bill that would forever change any person convicted of an abhorrent sex crime against a child under the age of thirteen, which is a measure approved by most people across the state.
State Representative Steve Hurst, a Republican, introduced the bill. It was passed by the state legislature and was recently signed into law by Governor Kay Ivey. Because the state wants to make it abundantly clear that child molesters are not welcome, the law now requires that any child sex offenders over the age of 21 will be chemically castrated before they leave prison and entered society again.
“They have marked this child for life, and the punishment should fit the crime,” Hurst said.
ALL states should do this. It would put a HUGE dent in the child trafficking problem. Can't/won't sexually abuse children or anyone else if they can't get "satisfaction", now can they?
I don't think I like this. They need to consider maybe chemical castration. Physical castration is irreversible physical mutilation that won't actually stop a person's desire or ability to molest kids, could even raise it to acts of violence instead. Besides, if done, we should send them a bill for the free transgender operation.
How about tattooing their forehead with PEDOPHILE instead.
I agree. Too easy for innocent men to be caught up by vindictive kids, don't say it doesn't happen - it does. Little story. My brother-in-laws daughter decided that she wanted a little more freedom than he and her mother were allowing, so she told a school counselor that her father had "touched" her inappropriately when she was younger. Girls a teenager - very capable of making shit up because she caught a case of the red ass. Long story short, it was a lie. She recanted but NOT before my brother-in-law lost is lifelong career in the military, among other things. Military didn't CARE that it wasn't true, they stuck with the original dishonorable discharge and now he's working for $8 at 50+ years old. So, would he be castrated? Of course, he would. This kind of stuff happens all the time. I agree that sickos that like to rape babies SHOULD be shot, but make DAMNED sure that the accusations are true before moving forward. It's far too easy for malicious women to ruin a mans life like this.
But there are plenty of cut and dried cases; the kiddie porn case is actual evidence, not hearsay. Anecdotal stories are great, except they don't apply in many cases.
False prosecutions are an easily fixed problem, but not many people seem interested in fixing that, since it only hurts poor people who can't afford big bucks for lawyers, which means right-wingers aren't interested and left-wingers love lawyers and wouldn't do anything to hurt their incomes either.
