The Proposed Person Amendment for the State of Nevada

Event Date: 
February 19, 2012 (All day)

The Nevada Prolife Coalition would amend the state constitution to protect “the unalienable right to life of every prenatal person.” Simply put, it would define life as beginning at conception.

The Honorable Judge James E. Wilson determined that the description of the effect of this bill was nowhere near adequate. He did not say that the measure was illegal, however, but he did order NPC to substitute the following language into the initiative before they collect signatures:
“The initiative would protect a prenatal person regardless of whether or not the prenatal person would live, grow, or develop in the womb or survive birth; prevent all abortions even in the case of rape, incest, or serious threats to the woman’s health or life, or when a woman is suffering from a miscarriage, or as an emergency treatment for an ectopic pregnancy. The initiative will impact some rights Nevada women currently have to access certain fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization. The initiative will impact some rights Nevada women currently have to utilize some forms of birth control, including the “pill;” and to access certain fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization. The initiative will affect embryonic stem cell research, which offers potential for treating diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, and others.”

I ask the reader to re-read the above ruling by Judge Wilson, and ask, as to whether or not, they can find a glaring discrepancy in his ruling?

Well, now! It seems it only applies to women!

I will gladly vote for the proposed “Personhood Amendment” if the following language is included:

“It shall be illegal in the State of Nevada for any man living within the recognized boundaries of the State of Nevada to ejaculate, masturbate, or who otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a woman's vagina, and if any man living in the State of Nevada, violates said such law, his actions shall be interpreted and construed as an action against an unborn child. The penalties for violation of said act will result in criminal prosecution against the man, and if convicted, will result in a minimum period of incarceration of two (2) years, with a maximum of five (5) years, with an additional penalty of a (2) two thousand dollar fine, or both.

In exercising its rights under the Tenth Amendment, the State of Nevada formally declares and rejects the United States Supreme Court ruling of Griswold v. Connecticut and hereby declares that all forms of birth control methods utilized specifically by men shall be illegal. Use of any method utilized by men shall be punishable by mandatory incarceration. Specifically, any type of contraception device that will, in any way, impede a woman from getting pregnant is now illegal in the State of Nevada. It shall also be unlawful to obtain, import, have in possession, transport, aid and abet in obtaining male contraceptives for another man, receive from other person(s) or other outside sources, or purchase via the Internet, any male contraceptives, shall be if convicted of a felony.

The State of Nevada affirms the concept that every sperm is consecrated and as such now makes it illegal in the State of Nevada for any man to obtain a vasectomy. Additionally, it shall be illegal for any licensed medical physician, authorized to practice medicine in any medical discipline, within the State of Nevada, to perform any vasectomy upon any male eighteen years (18) or older. If any physician, or any person who assists said physician, and aids in the procedure of a vasectomy, they will automatically be held criminally and civilly liable, and shall after due process, and if found guilty/liable of said law, will be stripped of his/her medical credentials. However, they may apply for reinstatement of their medical privileges’ after a period of five (5) years.

It shall be the law of the State of Nevada, that any man who suffers from erectile dysfunction, and requires the need of any pharmaceutical or mechanical device to obtain an erection but only for the purposes of procreation and impregnation of a woman, must first undergo five (5) rectal and prostrate examinations. Proof of said rectal and prostrate examinations must be in writing by the physician who administers said rectal and prostrate examinations. All pharmacists, licensed in the State of Nevada, before filling a prescription for the above mentioned semi-curative methods for erectile dysfunction shall be required to verify the authorization by the physician of the man requesting such medication or mechanical device. There will be in all cases; a 72 hour hold before the pharmacists fills said prescription, until the man attends a mandatory instruction course on the use of such pharmaceuticals and medical devices. In no such case, may these types of prescriptions be given out on a weekend, federally recognized holidays, or during established and religious celebrations.

All men in the State of Nevada, who impregnate any women from the State of Nevada, will be required to pay for the medical expenses, health care, rent or house payment of said impregnated women, day care if the impregnated women has other children, a minimum of one (1) thousand dollars in support of the child until such child has reached the age of majority.”

If there has to be a war against women’s reproductive rights…isn’t about time we declare war on men too?

How do you feel now Stud!
