Are women’s bodies private property? In Idaho, apparently they are

…SB1309's conception of women as family possessions harkens back to ancient idea of women as the property of their fathers – property that could be transferred to other men in a transaction known as marriage. It is interesting that SB1309 also names fathers and their family members as having an interest in the woman's choices, implying that the right to control her and her body can be extended by inseminating her. If this all sounds baroque and morbid, like something out of the Old Testament, that's because it is: the Idaho bill was lobbied for by a group that calls itself the Idaho Family Policy Center, a non-profit dedicated to "promoting Biblically sound public policy"…
