Buy a dildo go to jail

The Religious Right in the United States means business and business for them means the minute regulation of the private lives of everyone. Their stronghold is the American South. These Bible-belt states form the backbone of the American fundamentalism, the Religious Right and now the Republican Party --- formerly known as a party that advocated "limited" government but now thoroughly advocating state interventionism across the board.

According to Associated Press a bill is being introduced in the South Carolina state legislature by Republican Ralph Davenport to make it a felony to sell any device that is used mainly for sexual stimulation. A dildo would be classified as "obscene" and anyone selling this piece of plastic could spend up to five years in jail and pay a $10,000 fine.

Other Republican states have already passed similar laws including Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas. Apparently the only kind of dildos that will be legal in the South are those that routinely get elected.
