If there weren't enough reasons not to move to Alabama, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has just upheld another one. Did you know that it is illegal in Alabama to sell or distribute anything involving "the pursuit of orgasms by artificial means." In other words, people, Alabama has banned the sale of ALL SEX TOYS! And a fucking federal appeals court let them get away with it. Alabama claims the purpose of the ban is to promote public morality, cause goddess knows only people with loose morals would ever want to give themselves a fucking orgasm. Oh wait - I mean only loose women 'cause boys don't need toys like the ladies do (at least not straight boys anyway). Fucking sexist homophobic puritan Alabama bastards. As far as I'm concerned, they can take their public morality and stick it...or would that break the rules? Does public morality shoved up the ass of a state legislator equal a sex toy? Hmmmmm...
Anyway -- so unless the US Supreme Court hears an appeal (and you can bet the ACLU, who handled the main case, will file one) and overturns the decision of the lower court, the poor folks in Alabama will have to do without the Rabbit, and everything else that might make living there more tolerable. OK - technically they can order the toys online (supposedly) and it isn't illegal to own the items, just to sell them, but isn't this a thin line they're walking on? Besides, why shouldn't the women of Alabama be allowed to have "sexerware parties" like the rest of us?
