Alabama Passes Chemical Castration Bill

ALABAMA - Humanity and justice rise in Alabama. On 15 May, Alabama became the first US states that enacts the abortion ban laws, condemning the abortion for babies older than 6 weeks, exactly the age when a heartbeat is detected.

Now, Alabama passed another bill that certainly will be proven more effective in eradicating sexual harassment and abuse against children. The bill is now waiting for Kay Ivey’s signature, as the final consent from the State Governor himself. 

While this is not the first time for the bill to be introduced, this was the first time the bill actually passed the State House and Senate.

The bill, named HB 379, is activated at the time of parole and/or acquittal. When a child sexual abuser, molester or pedophilic convict is acquitted from his sentence, he will be chemically castrated. This castration serves as additional eternal punishment for the convict, so he can never abuse any children anymore.

The bill covers victims ranging between age 7 to 13, and the abusers above 21 years old.

Some may call it inhumane, considering the fact that these convicts have served their sentence for their crime, but in the end they are forced to live with infertility for eternity.

“It is not the first time (being called ‘inhumane’ for introducing HB 379). But these abusers and molesters have traumatized and given these children something they will never forget for the rest of their lives. Which one do you think is more inhumane? I think the crime and the consequence serve just right,” said Steve Hurst, Alabama State Representative.

The whole world acknowledges that sexual abuse against children is one of mankind’s worst crime. But, how about change? People can change right? Surely, there are programs in prison which serve as means of rehabilitation for this degenerate convicts.

“But, medication will never do it. Molesters are going to molest, and abusers are going to abuse still,” asserted Sam Jones, also Alabama State Representative.

While Mr. Hurst cannot guarantee 100% effectiveness of this bill, the children can at least rest assured that their innocence will be avenged.

What do you think about the bill? Is it effective or is it inhumane?
