They're all proposed to solve a problem. That one had to do with horse theft. Stealing horses was already illegal, but apparently there's a legal loop hole with letter of the law vs intent of the law.

To steal is to take something without permission and intent to return, but if thr horse follows you and the ice cream cone in your pocket, then you didn't take it, did you? You found it. It was stalking you and your ice cream.

The law doesn't cover luring.

Apparently, there were enough incidents of horse theft using the ice cream trick at the horse races back in the day that they outlawed walking around with ice cream in your pocket.

It's still illegal in Alaska to bring your moose through the front door of a bar. In Florida, you're breaking the law if you hitch/park your pachyderm in the town square.

Nearly every state has its weird laws and there's a story behind every one od them that usually involves someone being ornery, legally versed and slick, causing such a fuss that someone in or with access to lawmaking power and equally slick gets a law made to keep that person from being ornery.

It's funny.

In this Alabama case, it's just the lawmaker being ornery and not thinking things through. Or counting on people's basic goodness to keep the fallout affecting only one segment of the population.

This proposal also makes hazing rapes of men legal. It will increase the number of men being raped because it legalizes rape in certain circumstances. When someone is drunk. Broad strokes, women can stop drinking easier than men can. Who do you think the rapists will turn to for legal cover when women stop drinking? They'll go after smaller men and teenage boys, won't they?

Ot also makes it legal for women to get rape revenge on men, if they so choose, without consequence. That probably won't happen much, but it provides legal cover for anyone choosing to do so. Imagine a gang of women banding together to get revenge on the guy who raped them all when they were teenage girls by getting him drunk, not hard to do, and then raping him with an object and leaving him in an alley. They can't be touched. He was drunk.

Lot of politicians, teachers, and clergy might want to think about how .much they enjoy walking and being able to defecate without a bag. I know that. Doctors too, come to think of it.

Then there's the economic fallout to consider. Without women, most bars can't stay in business. That problem will travel upstream. And if women organize and general strike, out of basic life, if they keep specifically gendered language in the law so that it only harms women, women can crash the economy.

There's also the possibility that the entire state will become a virtual ghost town if enough women leave. That would he an interesting strike too, come to think of it, women leaving the state until the law gets repealed. Particularly young women. Walking out of churches and shutting them down.

Hope the women of Alabama are getting geared up.

Also kind of sounds like abortion bans aren't propping up the adoption industry as much as they'd hoped so they're hoping for more rape babies to sell....I mean, be placed for adoption. Without a doubt, this puts teenage girls at extreme risk. More so than anyone else.
