South Carolina Senator Robert Ford is attempting to outlaw profanity. Under his bill, the penalty for lewd language would be up to 5 years in prison and/or $5000 in fines. From WCBD:
Which words are exactly considered profane is still unclear, but the bill does have a list of qualifications for profanity including words or actions that are lewd, vulgar or indecent in nature.
I mean.... 5 years in prison for saying F***? It's not like they raped anyone.... unless, South Carolina considers saying these "HORRENDOUS" curse words to be a raping of human ears.
