U.S. Lawmaker Says He Is Worried About E-Mail Pregnancy

Citing the case of a woman who claims she got pregnant from e-mail,
an Ohio Democrat called Wednesday for a chastity chip for the
Internet. Rep. James Traficant, known for his flamboyant rhetoric,
gave a brief floor speech about a woman named Frances who claimed to
have gotten pregnant through an e-mail exchange with a paramour 1,500
miles away. Thats right — pregnant, he proclaimed, warning of the
dangers of immaculate reception. He called on Congress to go beyond
v-chips that would protect kids from sexual content on the
Internet, saying, Its time for Congress to act. The computers do not
need a v-chip. The Internet needs a chastity chip.
