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
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?
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.
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
yes, it is intended to highlight how anti-woman mst anti-abortion laws are
Read the article.

☹️
Try reading the article. You might feel differently
I read the article, why would I feel differently?

You read this part and didn’t get it?
I guess not. What am I missing?
It’s a stunt. This isn’t serious. How did you not get that?
I guess Mississippi isn’t the first place I assumed would joke about banning masturbation 5 days into Trump Land.
The roll of a man during the pregnancy is irrelevant. Because a man can’t get pregnant.
Also a man is not in charge of a pregnant woman’s body and therefore cannot make choices for her body.
What this bill will do is allow for men to make medical decisions for women without their consent.
Contraception begins in the hand
Very touching. Touching also begins in the hand
I want to believe this is a satirical bill meant to bring attention to how absurd a lot of other bills are, but it is Mississippi. And with how things are going these past several years, it’s becoming harder and harder to tell at face value if something is an Onion or not.
Did you know that Mississippi is the anus of the US?
Here’s to the land you’ve torn out the heart of/
Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of/
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.
I’d say he is perfect for the role and he is sure to raise through the ranks of american politics at a rapid pace.
🤣

This act shall take effect and be in force from and after July 1, 2025Shit, I vomited without intent to fertilize an embryo
I know its Mississippi but this guy has to realize this targets women with a bias. Men: “Don’t masturbate or have sex for fun!”… Damn that sucks… Women: “Don’t masturbate or have sex for fun!.. oh and don’t ever release an egg again”. Wait I cant exist as a woman pre menopausal? Nope
Unfortunately, since their joke is badly written, it might be interpreted has you said. Yet, please notice, with the title of this law ( “Contraception Begins at Erection Act” ) that it
is targetingwas supposed to target men.Both the clitoris and the nipples can become erect. (I know it’s a joke but I can help but smile thinking of an erect clitoris) Lol
Yes it’s fun to look at this joke in different ways and to think of how it could be written in much better ways.
That and I would worry that if people took it too seriously, it could lead to a lot more rape.
Does no one read the article? He literally did this because it shifts the focus from the woman’s role in abortion to men’s
They read it, but they still don’t get it. It’s frustrating having to explain every tiny bit of nuance to them though. Glad you felt inclined. Lol
We got it just fine. You are just acting way to stiff to even communicate, joke, or discuss. Why bother going to the comment section if you don’t want to read why their joking law has holes in it.
Well by rule 4(a) it seems encouraged to wank into an envelope and post it to him.

10k just be be able to jerk it 3 times? This guy is a loser. I’ll jerk it all day for free. He can’t charge me a fee

Did you miss this?
Banning masturbation will not stop abortion lol
It’s a stunt to highlight how we only discuss the woman’s role in abortion and how most anti-abortion laws are anti-woman. Was this not clear? Im asking this seriously because so many seem to be missing this here.
It’s not clear at all, no.
Is this proposal patently ridiculous? Yes. Do I believe there’s at least one legislator in Mississippi who unironically believes in this bill exactly as written, and is playing this completely straight? Considering all that’s happened so far, why not?
Satire doesn’t work when the obvious hyperbolic nonsense is within actual expected behavior of the satirized.
I won’t claim one way or the other that this is or is not satire. I don’t know who this legislator is and I don’t really care. But no, with the whole article you’re pasting everywhere in this thread as my only context clue, I certainly didn’t find enough evidence to be convinced he doesn’t actually believe this.
Try reading the article then as I only posted the really obvious bit
It’s clear it’s just stupid
(4) This section shall not apply to the discharge of genetic material: … ( b ) Discharged with the use of a contraceptive or contraceptive method intended to prevent fertilization of an embryo.
So basically it’s illegal to do so without the intent to fertilize an embryo… unless doing it as part of a contraceptive method? Isn’t abstinence - e.g. not having sex - a legitimate method?.. wouldn’t masturbation be a way to manage abstinence?
Did you read the article? The guy is doing this to highlight the fact that the woman’s role in abortion is always focused on
I believe this makes it a woman’s duty to take all erections up the right hole.
(a) Donated or sold to a facility for the purpose of future procedures to fertilize an embryo;
This means it’s legal to pull out and fill a jar to donate to such a facility.
Always has been
Whether they accept donations from the bank of Cream and Loan is another story though.
So what is this? Some kind of anti masturbation law?

The article is very short.
My article is 12 inches and very girthy actually, thank you! There used to be a surgeon in California to help you all with short articles. Sadly, you know, the fires…
Short article, yet you failed to include the third that makes it illegal to jerk it:
“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.””
Because it’s SATIRE!!
If anyone is unsure-- look the senator up, he’s a Democrat.
That’s because thos is ax stunt to highlight how often antiabortion laws are antiwoman
Controlling how adult people practice sex now, eh. Boy, I sure hope all these Trump voters are very happy now.
They are, fucking teenage relatives is all they want.
It took me less time to find out what this was about than to make this response.
Careful, stroking your ego like that puts you at risk of violating this law.
O… kay. Was I correct? I tried interpreting the rules listed in the link and drew a conclusion about what they’re trying to achieve. 🤷♂️ Thanks for trying to help, good buddy.
If you’re not interested enough to read why bother asking
I tried interpreting the rules listed in the link and drew a conclusion
This is what I said. Did you read that part? I did read it, I’m just not certain what the real agenda is behind this ridiculous nonsense.
You’ve made two replies now wasting your energy by being rude instead of helping. Is this how you treat people you meet in person as well? Sheesh, bro.
Also your question makes no sense. I’m “not interested” yet I’m still asking? Who would ask if they’re not interested? That makes no sense. Just like someone replying with rude shit instead of helping. That also makes zero sense.
Yeah, that’s what it looks like. Yeesh.
Absolutely ridiculous, is what it is. Everybody does it.
The target obscure British comedy group named after the pet snake of one of their WW2 generals wrote a song about this exact situation:
I kept looking for the Onion link and never found it.
You should read the actual article then as you will be surprised to discover what this guy’s actual goals are.
I did read the article. While I understand he’s trying to even out the responsibility for pregnancy, I’m at a loss to understand how this will legitimately help in any way.
It’s a stunt. How did you miss that? It’s fairly obvious
