PS: Speaking of "looking fanatical and unrealistic", how realistic is it to compare ear piercing laws to abortion notification laws? I don't think ears are pierced by medical doctors (usually). I also don't think getting one's ears pierced carries with it the same emotional charge that may cause a pregnant person to want to keep their abortion private. In any event, where did you hear that I have sponsored or supported a state ear piercing notification law? I have not, so there is no hypocrisy in my views.
