Alabama Supreme Court upholds ban on sale of sex toys (Less dildos = more morality)

[usregimechange]

:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

The Alabama Supreme Court today again upheld the state's ban on the sale of sex toys like those at the Hoover store Love Stuff.

The court, still divided 7-2, again ruled that the 1988 law prohibiting the sale of sex toys does not violate the U.S. and Alabama constitutions.

Chief Justice Sue Bell Cobb and Justice Thomas Woodall continued their dissent to the majority opinion by Justice Mike Bolin.

Friday's ruling stemmed from a request by a lawyer for Love Stuff for the state high court to reconsider a similar ruling in September.

The court majority continued to recognize that people may have the right to use these devices in private, but the state has the right to regulate their public sale.

"Public morality can still serve as a legitimate rational basis for regulating commercial activity, which is not a private activity," Bolin wrote for the court majority. "As the (11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals) ... stated, 'There is nothing private or consensual about the advertising and sale of a dildo,'"

1. My solution for Alabama

is the same now as for the Taliban in Afghanistan:

Allow the women to leave. And make it possible for them to do so.

5. The dildos in charge of Just-us in Alley-bama have ruled

Sexuality is for making kids only. Next they will rule the nasty be only done in the dark with a thick blanket between partners with a hole cut into it to allow the unmentionable to happen.

7. Oh I'm sure they've made it such a better place. Well, this is nice, maybe

soon they will want cameras in every house in case they decide to make use in Alabama illegal. "The court majority continued to recognize that people may have the right to use these devices in private..." Gee what a nice gesture of freedom. To me, Alabama is such a WTF place, always has been, always will be.
