I never read SB 132 in its entirety until now. A lot more to it than I realized, and it definitely compromises women’s safety, which is in direct violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which assures that women are not subjected to cruel and unusual punishment, because of their sex. The fact that women can be so easily overpowered by a man, and the fact that a rape can result in pregnancy makes the consequences of sexual assault even worse for a woman.
The Erosion of Women’s Safety has Begun with SB 132

It was the spring of '68 when I was born. There were visible stars in the sky that night, or so I'm told... Some days, I ride my bicycle to the farmer's market, hang my clothes to dry, and sketch or play my guitar into the evening... Other days, I stay indoors, drink too much coffee, eat canned soup, and critique endless reruns of "Law and Order." (It's fun to wonder how all the suspects have such perfect memories as to their whereabouts, or why the longshoreman isn't curious enough to get out of the forklift when confronted by homicide detectives). Do you have friends? (I have come to be leery of dating anyone who has no friends. These people always seem to have some far-fetched conspiracy theory or weird aversion to sunlight...) Bonus points to those who... appreciate a good pun or will give a gratuitous chuckle:) can find humor in not only the absurd, but esp in the mundane :) View more posts
