If the Democrats aren’t going to be useful, I’m glad they’ve at least decided to be a little funny.
It’s a race to the bottom now. And the Republicans have a huge head start. Dems are nosediving to catch up.
I didn’t see the party of the politician in the article, so no idea if it is written in jest or just regular old Republican whackiness.
The most entertaining part is that it is written as applying to men, but as written it is gender neutral and would penalize menstruation.
Edit: It is a Dem having a lark.
i’m afraid that the fascists would take the bill up and actually vote to ban masturbation. especially the bible thumpers.
You can vote against a bill you introduce. Look at Moscow Mitch.
It shall be unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material
Genetic Material is DNA. Dry skin falling off is technically discharging genetic material. As is bleeding…
Technically a woman would be grossly violating this with every period… or by giving birth.
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.”
Did you miss this?
So nobody is going to talk about how he said “without the intent to fertilize an embryo” and not “fertilize an egg”? You can’t fertilize an embryo lmao
This is a stunt bill designed to draw attention to how anti-woman most anti-abortion laws are
That’s satirical, right?
Right?
Yes, it’s proposed to show how dumb the “life begins at conception idea” is. Blackmon doesn’t actually want this to pass
Read the article.

yes, it is intended to highlight how anti-woman mst anti-abortion laws are
☹️
Try reading the article. You might feel differently
In this thread:
A lot of men who didn’t read the article and didn’t got the satirical part of the act.
And given the last political polemic, I’m pretty sure these “men” are misrepresenting the article on purpose.
🤣

Contraception begins in the hand
so it’s looking to ban masturbation in mississippi.
People can get up in arms and call it absurd but I can’t say that bothers me.
Then you have the wrong job as a representative.
Cue the cast of Monty Python singing, ”Every sperm is sacred…"
With the last exception being for sex while using contracteption, what’s the point of this bill?
It’s facetious, but the GOP won’t get it.
Culture war idiocy. That’s it.
Edit: Merp, the bill is actually satire. It’s an actual bill, filed in an actual legislature, but the person who filed it is a Democrat, and it’s pretty obvious it’s intentionally worded to be absolutely absurd (coming from a Democrat, to be clear, because I’d take them at their word if a Nationalist Christian wrote it).
LMAO. are they seroius!!!
Doesn’t look serious, but it is funny!
I love that an actual person wasted their time writing this and bringing it up with their colleagues lol
Based on the article, seems like he just wants to point out it’s bullshit to put the entire onus on women for pregnancy.
Read the article and find out.

Good! We need to STOP KILLING KIDS (unless it’s with Gun Control!)! Wait a Democrat wrote this? Just kidding this is STUPID!
How did you misunderstand the article?
He posed this because we only talk about women’s roles in abortions. It’s a stunt bill.
