No more eye dangers!

Steve Barnett is mildly amused at a bill proposed by an Illinois legislator to criminalize implanting a piece of jewelry in someone’s eye, a procedure offered only by a Dutch clinic at the moment:

Just remember, folks, it’s okay for a woman to choose to suck a fetus out of her own body, but nobody, and they mean nobody, can choose to put something in their own eye.

I tend to be a bodily-integrity absolutist, whether it’s the piercing-laden body of a goth punk or the body of a child surrounded by amniotic fluid. “My body, my choice” for everyone!
