No_Change_Just_Money ( @No_Change_Just_Money@feddit.de ) English50•1 month agoIn my opinion, the funniest thing about the phrasing of the headline:
It would just straight up make it illegal to be a woman of color in Florida, which might be the republican goal irl
Malgas ( @Malgas@beehaw.org ) English14•1 month agoIt’s technically possible for a woman of color to have white children, due to Punnett square shenanigans. Not likely, but it has happened.
But there’s also the issue of the timeline. Age of consent in Florida is 18, so (assuming no other laws are to be broken) this would require even white women to have an average of six kids in four years. Which is…also improbable.

MrShankles ( @MrShankles@reddthat.com ) English33•1 month agoJesus, I almost ate that onion. For a moment, the headline shocked me, but wasn’t that unbelievable… and that, in and of itself, is terrifying
Treczoks ( @Treczoks@kbin.social ) 19•1 month agoDon’t give the Republicands anyy more ideas. DeSantis probably reads The Onion as a source of inspiration.
On the other hand, The Onion has perfectly summarized GOP ideas on this topic…
ChaoticNeutralCzech ( @ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de ) English18•1 month agoAlabama has the same law but they must simultaneously be half-brothers

methodicalaspect ( @unwillingsomnambulist@midwest.social ) English4•1 month agoAs I’m sure pudding fingers will be inspired to make this into an actual law, and as I’m sure he doesn’t know what “ex post facto” means, I look forward to seeing this applied to my over-22-year-old childless sister.
