(a) Donated or sold to a facility for the purpose of future procedures to fertilize an embryo;
This means it's legal to pull out and fill a jar to donate to such a facility.

I know its Mississippi but this guy has to realize this targets women with a bias. Men: "Don't masturbate or have sex for fun!"... Damn that sucks.. Women: "Don't masturbate or have sex for fun!.. oh and don't ever release an egg again". Wait I cant exist as a woman pre menopausal? Nope
That and I would worry that if people took it too seriously, it could lead to a lot more rape.
Unfortunately, since their joke is badly written, it might be interpreted has you said. Yet, please notice, with the title of this law ( “Contraception Begins at Erection Act” ) that it ~~is targeting~~ was supposed to target men.
Both the clitoris and the nipples can become erect. (I know it's a joke but I can help but smile thinking of an erect clitoris) Lol
Yes it's fun to look at this joke in different ways and to think of how it could be written in much better ways.
LMAO. are they seroius?!!!!!!!
Doesn't look serious, but it is funny!
From erection to resurrection?
I recommend the battle beast cover! It just sounds so much better to me with noora singing the lyrics
Wouldn't this make more sense as "conception"?
Not if you understand what satire is.
To be fair, the article doesn’t give his party affiliation and if you’re just scrollin’ on by this sounds like it could easily be from a RWNJ who believes masturbation and sex for funsies are sins and the bible should be law. Wikipedia says he’s a dem; I know nothing about him but the quote from him doesn’t read to me as ‘every sperm is sacred.’ Then again it is Mississippi so before reading the actual bill I was only 51% sure it was satire.
Sure, some may say it’s absurd, but masturbation inspector is a good paying, high quality American job that cannot be exported overseas, and not a job I’d trust to AI.
That state senator is a visionary!
Cue the cast of Monty Python singing, ”Every sperm is sacred...."
so it's looking to ban masturbation in mississippi.
Nah, edging is still legal
This could absolutely be used to keep prisoners in prison, and also probably criminalize gay men.
This is taking No Nut November to a whole new level
Life began about a billion years ago and it's a continuous, ongoing process.
3.5 billion, give or take a few years. There's some evidence life goes back to 4 billion years, but it's not as well-attested as 3.5.
..... So is he trolling or what?
He's screwing with conservatives, yes.
Good! We need to STOP KILLING KIDS (unless it's with Gun Control!)! Wait a Democrat wrote this? Just kidding this is STUPID!
If the Democrats aren't going to be useful, I'm glad they've at least decided to be a little funny.
It's a race to the bottom now. And the Republicans have a huge head start. Dems are nosediving to catch up.
It is Mississippi, what did you expect? Mississippi is one of the core Southern states.
Well, I kind of expected people to click the link to know why he filed it :(
I didn't see the party of the politician in the article, so no idea if it is written in jest or just regular old Republican whackiness.
The most entertaining part is that it is written as applying to men, but as written it is gender neutral and would penalize menstruation.
Edit: It is a Dem having a lark.
You can vote against a bill you introduce. Look at Moscow Mitch.
i'm afraid that the fascists would take the bill up and actually vote to ban masturbation. especially the bible thumpers.
There are a number of active laws that were rendered unconditional by Lawrence v. Texas. In addition to the anti-sodomy laws, this invalidated most laws restricting sex toys.
Lawrence was explicitly called out as being on the chopping block in the Jackson decision, so these are slated for a comeback. The only real limitation is that SCOTUS needs a case, and the challenger needs to show standing.
With the last exception being for sex while using contracteption, what's the point of this bill?
It's facetious, but the GOP won't get it.
Culture war idiocy. That’s it.
Edit: Merp, the bill is actually satire. It’s an actual bill, filed in an actual legislature, but the person who filed it is a Democrat, and it’s pretty obvious it’s intentionally worded to be absolutely absurd (coming from a Democrat, to be clear, because I’d take them at their word if a Nationalist Christian wrote it).
To highlight how absolutely stupid this bill is, it sounds like it would outlaw menstruation and nocturnal emissions.
Land of the free.
Edit: it sounds like this is intentionally facetious to point out the absurdity of other pro-life bills.
Uh, yeah?
If your weiner can't behave when you are AFK it should be in jail!
I would love to outlaw menstruation too but my fucking body won't listen to me
It respects the law.
Didn't you hear? Our bodies answer directly to the government now
Careful, that post could be used against you in the court of law!
Yes, correct, it is as absurd as pro-life ideas.
