View From a Height

Oh, And About That Cigarette...

The health mullahs move forward. Having spent the better part of a century trying to get the government out of the bedroom, the Progressives (sic), are now using "health concerns" wedge their way back into it. Tomorrow, Sue Windels's bill to make having AIDS and having sex a crime comes up for a hearing in the Judiciary Committee.

Michael had noted this before, as well as suggesting a possible disparate impact objection.

After the bill defines "sexual intercourse," it goes on to make an exception if the infected tells the soon-to-be-infected beforehand. Romantic as that sounds, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before strict liability forces bars to keep a small quiet table in the corner reserved for the notary public.

And then there's this debate going on over at Legal Affairs (hat tip: the Instapundit).

Say it with me: Progressively more expensive. Progressively more intrusive. Progressively more restrictive.
