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
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
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.
I believe this makes it a woman’s duty to take all erections up the right hole.
So what is this? Some kind of anti masturbation law?
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.”
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

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:
100% of men are murderers then
To highlight how absolutely stupid this bill is, it sounds like it would outlaw menstruation and nocturnal emissions.
Land of the free.
Edit: it sounds like this is intentionally facetious to point out the absurdity of other pro-life bills.
I would love to outlaw menstruation too but my fucking body won’t listen to me
Careful, that post could be used against you in the court of law!
Didn’t you hear? Our bodies answer directly to the government now
It respects the law.
Yes, correct, it is as absurd as pro-life ideas.
It’s really telling how much the Overton window in the US has shifted that you thought this was sincere to start with.
Nah, it ahows you how fast people are to comment without reading the article.
TBH it’s more that I have a naive work ethic and assume someone performing such a serious and impactful job would only do so sincerely, but I agree.
Menstruation is already outlawed if out includes an unimplanted but fertilized egg.
It’s just very hard to prove.
Uh, yeah?
If your weiner can’t behave when you are AFK it should be in jail!
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.
There are a number of active laws that were rendered unconstitutional by Lawrence v. Texas. In addition to the anti-sodomy laws, this invalidated most laws restricting sex toys.
Lawrence was explicitly called out as being on the chopping block in the Jackson decision, so these are slated for a comeback. The only real limitation is that SCOTUS needs a case, and the challenger needs to show standing.
Edit: fixed autocorrect
You can vote against a bill you introduce. Look at Moscow Mitch.
Sure, some may say it’s absurd, but masturbation inspector is a good paying, high quality American job that cannot be exported overseas, and not a job I’d trust to AI.
That state senator is a visionary!
Sending my heart out so hard my shoulder hurts.
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.

Did you miss this?
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.
