JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - A state senator in Mississippi has filed a bill entitled the “Contraception Begins at Erection Act.”

As written by Sen. Bradford Blackmon, the bill would make it “unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.”

There are also fines involved, the third strike resulting in the loss of $10,000 from the perpetrator.

In a statement to WLBT News, Blackmon wrote, “All across the country, especially here in Mississippi, the vast majority of bills relating to contraception and/or abortion focus on the woman’s role when men are fifty percent of the equation.

This bill highlights that fact and brings the man’s role into the conversation. People can get up in arms and call it absurd but I can’t say that bothers me.”

1. Is this a joke......

2. Is this the Onion?

Incels have a soft enough time now trying have sex. Now they will be scared to even have an erection if they could.

6. No, it's not

It's meant to point to the way abortion laws are only attacking women. This is a law that would make it illegal to jerk off, something these pro-lifers surely do a lot.

It's not meant to pass or become law, probably isn't even expecting it to get a vote. The point is to tie republicans in a knot with their own logic.

Wouldn't that mean...well you know.

Morons.

7. You guys do realize this is a Democratic Senator

using an absurd bill to point to the absurdity of the abortion laws being passed?

9. Ok. I didn't know that.

That makes the embryo part seriously funny, then.

22. I hope you don't catch anyone red-handed

23. It's all about hypothetical potential and 10K fines.

Mostly the harassment and 10K fines to be honest.

10. Looks to me like the bill was introduced to make a statement

No intention to actually pass into law.

11. That *snip* is so appropriate!

[Oneironaut]

13. Hilarious!

The intent is to do to men what they’ve been doing to women.

This is just as absurd as anti-abortion legislation put out by the GOP.

16. Call it the "Beat It" bill.

I do think there should be exceptions...there are some of us males who are NEVER intending to reproduce with our partner.

On a more serious note, that actions like this are taking place is just sad. I understand why he did this and why it needed to be done, and that is what is sad.

From the erection to the resurrection.

18. Who is going to patrol the bedrooms

of teenage boys with hands?

Does this state senator own shares in a private prison and does he plan on incarcerating every teenage male in Mississippi?

21. "You'll get my unlawfully-discharged genetic material when you

swab it from my dead, hot, sticky fingers!"





I almost want to make a bumper-sticker out of that....

[MineralMan]

25. They're going to imprison all adolescent boys?

Or are they going to ask the girls of that age to accept those "discharges?"

[bucolic_frolic]

26. All briefs are potential evidence

DNA testers could really get behind this initiative.

28. a ten thousand dollar fine for masturbating?

I’d have paid off the national debt long ago…
