Virginians - You're no longer breaking the law..

To the unmarried Virginian readers of my blog:

Singles' Sex No Longer a Va. Crime

The state Supreme Court yesterday struck down as unconstitutional a 19th-century Virginia law making it a crime for unmarried couples to have sex.

"We find no principled way to conclude . . . that the Virginia statute criminalizing intercourse between unmarried persons does not improperly abridge a personal relationship that is within the liberty interest of persons to choose," said the decision, written by Justice Elizabeth B. Lacy.

I could make some anti VA, pro MD comments....actually, there are a lot of comments/jokes that can be made....but I will leave this one alone.
