California Bill Brings Government Into the Bedroom
realclearpolitics ^ | 6/9/14 | Young

Posted on 06/09/2014 12:22:31 PM PDT by pabianice

With all the other drama in the news, the May 29 vote by the California State Senate to pass a bill that ostensibly targets sexual assault on college campuses has gone largely unnoticed. Yet the bill, SB-967—which now goes to the state assembly—deserves attention as an alarming example of creeping Big Sisterism that seeks to legislate “correct” sex. While its reach affects only college students so far, the precedent is a dangerous and potentially far-reaching one.

The bill, sponsored by state Senator Kevin De Leon (D-Los Angeles) and developed in collaboration with student activists, does nothing less than attempt to mandate the proper way to engage in sexual intimacy, at least if you’re on a college campus. It requires schools that receive any state funds through student aid to use “affirmative consent” as the standard in evaluating sexual assault complaints in the campus disciplinary system. According to the bill:

“Affirmative consent” is an affirmative, unambiguous, and conscious decision by each participant to engage in mutually agreed-upon sexual activity. Consent is informed, freely given, and voluntary. It is the responsibility of the person initiating the sexual activity to ensure that he or she has the consent of the other person to engage in the sexual activity. Lack of protest or resistance does not mean consent, nor does silence mean consent. Consent must be ongoing throughout a sexual encounter and can be revoked at any time. The existence of a dating relationship between the persons involved, or the fact of past sexual relations between them, should never by itself be assumed to be an indicator of consent.

If two people have sex with no consent form, who’s going to be arrested?

Marriage implies consent. All other forms of consent are a game of chance.

Consent [...] can be revoked at any time.

Including 6 weeks later when the pregnancy test comes up positive.

Well, actually no longer. The woman can still have her husband arrested for rape, as well as divorce him and take everything he has.

Fine, make a marriage license the document, and we’re all good.

That's funny. That was exactly my first thought. They should both be arrested for "illegal sex" or "mutual sexual assault". Then they could both register as sex offenders together. It'll be so romantic. If they haven't done the paperwork and she gets pregnant, should the "illegal baby" be automatically aborted? Or will it be given "undocumented" status?

(I know. It's all ridiculous. But I have all this gasoline sitting around in my head to douse on small fires like this.)

I thought liberals were telling us that what goes on in the ‘bedroom’ stays in the bedroom? That is, unless it is homosexual, then it is to be heralded from the 4 corners of the globe.

As I read about this story earlier today, I was reminded of a scene in a Sci-fi B movie called Cherry 2000. I believe Melanie Griffith is in it. But I digress.

The scene is where this guy goes to a singles bar and as is the custom in this future world, the place is full of attorneys negotiating the terms of men and women “going home together” and what kind of sexual contact is permitted and authorized. A contract is then signed before they leave.

And then I read this article. The future is sorta here.

Is there anything in this law that says it does not apply to homosexuals also?
