Enough with the girls' names on laws, he says

Chris Cagle wonders about the recent spate of laws named after young girls, such as Nicole's Law, which mandates the use of carbon-monoxide alarms effective today:
... It's never Mark's Law or even Patricia's or Linda's Law. ... I think the legislature should drop the flair for melodrama and go back to naming things stuff like the Carbon Monoxide Detector Residential Requirement Act.

It's a cheap sympathy ploy.
It's a cheap sympathy ploy. Having gotten as much mileage as they can out of "IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN" they're now naming laws for a specific child to put a face on it.
I really wish people would start recognizing "IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN" and its variants for the cheap tactic they are. But *Barbie hair flip* *raises voice a register* Critical Thinking Is Hard.
Girl's names on laws...
Still waiting for Mary Jo's Law.
