However, Republican Representative Austin Beigel slammed the bill as “a mockery of the most basic biological concepts,” and introduced his own bill claiming human life begins at conception, and seeking increased legal protections for embryos, under state law.
Bill authors, Ohio State Representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rader said in an interview on February 13 that it highlights the hypocrisy of laws regulating women’s bodies.
An Ohio draft bill planning to fine men who ejaculate ‘without the intent of conception’ up to $10,000 has been labelled a 'mockery of basic biological concepts'.
Rader added, “The point of this bill isn’t to get it passed; it’s to call out the hypocrisy.”.
Currently, 10 states have made it illegal for women to have an abortion, even in cases of rape.
