An Alabama lawmaker has a plan to permanently and physically punish someone convicted of certain sex offenses against children.

The bill, known as HB 365, would make those sex offenders have to get surgically castrated before they leave prison.

He said the bill will be for sex offenders over the age of 21 that committed sex offenses against children 12 years old and younger.

“If we do something of this nature it would deter something like this happening again in Alabama and maybe reduce the numbers,” said Hurst.

Castrate ha!

Supreme Court would strike that down so fast.

Yeah. I don't see this going through. Isn't castration considered cruel and unusual punishment?

No way will that ever pass

Why don't they work towards more prison time considering many never serve at all?

I'm sorry but regardless of person this is wrong

It won't pass, though they deserve it!

This is something I've been advocating to someday be passed for the entire country and will be until the day that I die.

Medieval Times teas.

Not gonna pass.

Will never happen, it should tho

You want to castrate the whole country? That seems... poorly though out.

Omg a Game of Thrones tea it's kind of a good idea but imagine if someone was wrongly convicted

The reactions in here... Of course this is a good idea.

Yeah. Because no one is EVER wrongly convicted

How could it possibly go wrong?

Not to mention that if we accept this as a punishment for some crimes, what is the next crime that it will be "ok" to maim someone for?

Are they going to do something similar to female sex offenders. This seems like a slippery slope. Are we going to cut the hands off of shoplifters next.

Not sure if it would get them very far

Or they, you know, could focus their efforts on psychological rehabilitation.
