Michigan Senate Passes Bill Outlawing Oral and Anal Sex --
• thefreethoughtproject.comDuring their session last week, the Michigan Senate passed a bill that effectively bans all forms of sodomy, anal, oral, gay and non-gay — making the acts punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
Surprisingly, Michigan is not alone in this archaic and oppressive legislation. Michigan, along with Idaho, Utah, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, all have laws on the books making consensual oral and anal sex, illegal, between all individuals. Montana, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, have only outlawed these acts if those engaged in them are gay.
The passage of this Bill is in spite of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2003 ruling in Lawrence v. Texas declaring sodomy bans unconstitutional.

The key legal REQUIREMENT is to "SHOW CAUSE". WHY does the state have a compelling interest to pass such a law? The statistics hold up for banning Anal, but NOT 0ral. It turns out that AnalSex is +5000% (Five-THOUSAND) more perilous than 0ral (or just about anything else).
