Mississippi lawmaker introduces ‘conception begins at erection’ act ‘People can get up in arms and call it absurd but I can’t say that bothers me,’ said state Senator Bradford Blackmon.
He added: “When a bill has been filed that would regulate what a man is able to do with his own body in his own home, it suddenly has people in an uproar ... men are not held to the same standard when it comes to the intrusion into their personal private affairs as women.”.
The bill would make it illegal for a man to masturbate or engage in any other sexual acts which would involve discharging “genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.”.
A Mississippi Democratic lawmaker with a sense of humor and a sensitivity to hypocrisy has introduced state legislation declaring that “conception begins at erection.”.
Blackmon said he was inspired to introduce the bill by all the new restrictions on women’s sexual and reproductive freedoms.
