State Senator Robert Ford is hoping to outlaw lewd language and is pushing for a bill that would prohibit profanity.

Under the pre-filed bill, profanity could land you in jail for up to 5 years and/or cost you up to $5,000 in fines.

Which words are exactly considered profane is still unclear, but the bill does have a list of qualifications for profanity including words or actions that are lewd, vulgar or indecent in nature.

We spoke to Debra Gammons with the Charleston School of Law about freedom of speech.

She reminds that the First Amendment is not absolute. You cannot say whatever you want whenever you want to.

Courts will usually look at where the words were said and who heard them. Children are usually protected.

If this is what America is coming to we are all going to be in prison here soon and if we are not in prison for this we will be in prison for something else they will come up with in the future.

Without a doubt cursing in front of a child will become a sex offense. After all each state does receive 1000s of dollars for each name on their registry. Easy money for law makers.

Oh boy, what next. My dad could make a priest blush! Every other word was colorful. I don't feel it made him a bad person. If the lawmakers and officials are not exempt from this, someone with a tape recorder needs to provoke them. Wouldn't that be a pity!

so sad!!!
