Try reading the article. You might feel differently
I read the article, why would I feel differently?
"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.”
You read this part and didn't get it?
I guess not. What am I missing?
It's a stunt. This isn't serious. How did you not get that?
I guess Mississippi isn't the first place I assumed would joke about banning masturbation 5 days into Trump Land.
It's highlighting how frequently the anti-abortion bills are anti-woman.
This would have been a great first reply. Spamming the same 2 paragraphs in quotes to everyone who didn't fully understand the intent in the article makes you come off a bit like a jerk. I do appreciate the legit answer though.
