They can claim all they want its to stop "statutory rape" it isn't rape if its OK'ed by both parties...state needs to fuck off and spend money elsewhere I mean Mississippi is the poorest state in the country...great way to waste 1k on each teen mother.

The bill's main sponsor, Republican state Rep. Andy Gipson, said the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that DNA left on objects, such as saliva on a disposable cup, can be tested as evidence in a criminal case. He said he thinks umbilical cord blood fits that description.

This argument has merit, there is no expectation of privacy concerning discarded DNA.

The privacy rights violation would occur when attempting to gather DNA form a man accused of being a ‘statutory rapist.’

Hyperbolic nonsense.

Unlike the world of 1984, this law will likely be challenged, and its opponents will receive a fair hearing in the courts.

Only a profound fascist would make a claim like that. They can get DNA off of a hair brush. If you throw a hair brush away, does the government have the right to retrieve DNA samples from it?

ROFL! Since when do government judges ever rule against the government? There's nothing "fair" about such hearings.

According to the law, yes.
