So what is this? Some kind of anti masturbation law?

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (3 children)

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.”"

If anyone is unsure-- look the senator up, he's a Democrat.

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.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] jacecomix@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's what it looks like. Yeesh.

Absolutely ridiculous, is what it is. Everybody does it.
