Mississippi politician files 'Contraception Begins at Erection Act'

Mississippi politician files ‘Contraception Begins at Erection Act’

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.

5. He filed it, but it's pretty much satire legislation.

And I agree that every sperm is sacred!

Men get a pass on this subject but they are also responsible for pregnancies. Plus they currently are very involved in women’s reproductive health.
