      "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.”

      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

        Does no one read the article? He literally did this because it shifts the focus from the woman’s role in abortion to men’s

        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.
