U.S. lawmaker proposes bill to ban male ejaculation without intent to impregnate female

An American state senator, Bradford Blackmon, has proposed a bill titled the “Contraception Begins at Erection Act” before the Mississippi senate that will ban men from ejaculating without the intention of impregnating a woman.
According to WLBT News, the bill put forward by the Democrat lawmaker, if passed into law, seeks to make it “unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilise an embryo.”
If the bill is passed into law, anybody convicted of violating the section
would be fined $1,000 for the first offence, $5,000 in fine for the second instance and $10,000 for a third conviction.
Mr Blackmon argued that all contraception bills that are being passed in the United States, especially Mississippi, are focused on women’s roles, and he hopes to bring men’s roles into conversation with the bill.
“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 per cent of the equation,” he told WLBT News.
“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.”
