In response to Hurst's premise, a Code of Ethics didn't seem to help when certain Lawmakers, those who have committed sexual crimes while in office, from committing sexual crimes during their period as a Lawmakers. What makes him think the castration issue is any different?11-20-2013 Alabama:
Alabama legislator Steve Hurst wants to force pedophiles to be physically castrated, a drastic measure that goes farther than any other state and ignites fierce arguments with no winning side. The bill would also make molesters pay for the procedure.
He was just a little boy when he first molested a child.
At age 7 he tried to rape his 3-year-old cousin by luring her into a closet.
He knew he was doing something awful and bad, but his only deterrence, he said, was his ignorance of female anatomy.
Larry Don McQuay, now 52, has said he molested more than 240 children in a long, dark criminal career that could only be stopped, he told Texas authorities, by having his testes cut out.
To believe him and his lawyer is to accept that castration — whether surgical or chemical — keeps serial pedophiles from ruining more young lives.
To neuter or not to neuter is one of the most fierce questions in criminal justice systems around the globe.
Now comes an Alabama state legislator, with a newly proposed law that has reignited fiery rhetoric on all sides, and goes farther than any other castration laws currently observed in at least nine U.S. states.
Under the bill from Rep. Steve Hurst, which will be debated next year, convicted molesters older than age 21 whose victims were younger than 12 would be forced to undergo surgical castration at their own expense. ..Continued.. by Deborah Hastings
