Ajar In Tennessee

A NEW STATE Law in the volunteer state of Tennessee makes it illegal to be addicted to drugs while pregnant. Presumably, by extension, it is now illegal to become pregnant while addicted to drugs. Beware, all coffee drinkers of the female gender of child bearing age. When becoming pregnant, give up the drugs. When addicted to drugs, use contraception. Whether it is acceptable to simultaneously become pregnant, subscribe to cable television, and drink sugary caffeinated beverages is as yet unclear. It might depend on the number of hours spent looking at a screen. For most Americans, seemingly addicted to smart phones, IPods, and flat screens, it averages about seven per day. Will Rogers once said that the greatest tragedy in American History was the invention of air conditioning, because it allowed legislative bodies to meet year round. We'd be better off legalizing all drugs, including and especially electronic devices, and outlawing pregnancy altogether.
