21. The beaches

The beaches. The locals keep them obsessively clean to the point they banned drinking and smoking on them (yes a smoking ban in the South, shocking I know).

Hypothetical thoughts:

If a college age woman gets raped at one of the beach condos while on spring break, does this law mean she becomes property of the state of Alabama since hospitals won't be able to give emergency contraceptives?
