Every sperm is sacred in Wilmington

“[E]ach ‘egg person’ and each ‘sperm person’ should be deemed equal in the eyes of the government and be subject to the same laws and regulations as any other dependent minor and be protected against abuse, neglect or abandonment by the parent or guardian

says the measure passed 8-4 by the Wilmington, Delaware city council yesterday. It continues:

[…] any action in which a man ejaculates or otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a woman’s vagina shall be interpreted and construed as an action against an unborn child

When Rick Santorum heard about it, he got so excited he inadvertently violated it.

Sorry, Frothy, but it’s not a real law. Nor was it backed by your fundie crackpot supporters. Rather, it was a resolution introduced by Councilwoman Loretta Walsh as a mocking rebuke of the current national anti-contraception fervor, along the same lines as the attempted “mandatory rectal exam” amendment to Virginia’s proposed State Rape law. Only this one passed.

Kudos to the City Council! It almost makes me not mind the city wage tax I had to pay for years for the privilege of working downtown.

Almost every blogger who reports on this story will make the obvious connection and link to the obvious video. So, obviously, I will too.
