Witches could become a problem. After all, they're women.

I wonder how long it will be before some red state decides they are infested with witches and something must be done about it. Many of these women are fighting to make abortion legal again, and who knows what other suspicious liberal plots they may be involved in. (Some may even be involved in targeting those space lasers.)

Since their "magical" powers wouldn't allow for a fair trial, the state will have to decide who and who isn't a witch. The penalty will, of course, being burned at the stake. (There's precedence for this which was established in that liberal place called Massachusetts.)

Yeah, I know. This sounds a bit extreme and crazy. But is it any more extreme or crazy than tossing Roe into the dumpster?

Do you suppose the Supreme Court would have a problem with this?

1. Once women are demonized and made second class citizens anything is possible.

A lot of men are carrying guns and would like some targets.

2. Sort of related - yoga was illegal in Alabama schools for 30 years

Alabama Will Now Allow Yoga In Its Public Schools (But Students Can't Say 'Namaste’
May 21, 2021


https://www.npr.org/2021/05/21/999020140/its-now-legal-to-practice-yoga-in-alabamas-public-schools

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has signed a bill to allow public schools to offer yoga, ending a ban that stood for nearly 30 years. Christian conservatives who back the ban said yoga would open the door for people to be converted to Hinduism.

The new law allows yoga to be offered as an elective for grades K-12. While it erases a ban that, over the years, some schools had not realized existed, it also imposes restrictions on how yoga should be taught. Students won't be allowed to say, "Namaste," for instance. Meditation is not allowed.

"Chanting, mantras, mudras, use of mandalas, induction of hypnotic states, guided imagery, and namaste greetings shall be expressly prohibited," the bill states. It also requires English names be used for all poses and exercises. And before any students try a tree pose, they'll need a parent's permission slip.

Alabama adopted its yoga ban in schools in 1993 — one of many fronts in the culture wars in the United States. And it was a fight to undo the ban: State Rep. Jeremy Gray, a Democrat, first introduced a bill to revoke the yoga taboo more than a year ago. His new bill got final approval Monday — the last day of the legislative session.
