Here’s an Idea: Guarantee Every Child an Excellent Education.

The UK is demonizing anyone that imports a sex doll with a childlike body shape.

It would be ludicrous to claim that some child was harmed by making the doll, so they don't bother offering any justification for the prohibition. The mere idea that these dolls are "sickening" is supposed to justify making it a crime.

If the Dontcare bill kills people, will that be murder?

When discussing whether something is or isn't murder, outside the context of a legal accusation, to cite laws is to miss the point.

The word "murder" has multiple related meanings. In law, it is the name of a crime, with a definition that varies between jurisdictions. Courts, trying someone for murder, should follow these definitions.

The word also has an everyday meaning that is more basic than laws, and is independent of the details of the laws of one place or another. It means knowingly killing people in the absence of certain morally valid justifications.

Unless "crushing the poor to give to the rich" is a morally valid justification, the Dontcare bill's killings will be murder by the ordinary meaning.
