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.

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.”
