Leaving aside the question of whether a state does or should have the right to ban the sale of sex toys, why do it? Is there some threat to the commonweal involved? Is it a thinly-disguised attempt to enforce religious beliefs of some people on others? Or are some people not happy that others might be enjoying themselves, so to speak?
Anyway, this law would be blatantly discriminatory against seasoned citizens who have severe arthritis, secretaries with carpal tunnel syndrome, and amputees. If this bill becomes Law, the SCOTUS case would be hugh and series -- and brutally entertaining.
Is that the new threshhold for laws -- they must address some threat? You set a pretty high bar there.
"Is it a thinly-disguised attempt to enforce religious beliefs of some people on others?"
Ah. You think people may be imposing their morality on others. Well, in a sense they are.
The citizens of South Carolina, through this law, are setting a standard for decency in their state. They believe the sex toys to be obscene, and want their sale banned. I say they have that right.
"Anyway, this law would be blatantly discriminatory against seasoned citizens who have severe arthritis, secretaries with carpal tunnel syndrome, and amputees."
These groups are certainly entitled to challenge the law. But since the law bans the sale, not possession and use, I don't think they'll have much of a case.
