    People can get up in arms and call it absurd but I can’t say that bothers me.

    Then you have the wrong job as a representative.

    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.

    (4) This section shall not apply to the discharge of genetic material: … ( b ) Discharged with the use of a contraceptive or contraceptive method intended to prevent fertilization of an embryo.

    So basically it’s illegal to do so without the intent to fertilize an embryo… unless doing it as part of a contraceptive method? Isn’t abstinence - e.g. not having sex - a legitimate method?.. wouldn’t masturbation be a way to manage abstinence?

    (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

    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!

      It’s a race to the bottom now. And the Republicans have a huge head start. Dems are nosediving to catch up.

    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.

      It’s really telling how much the Overton window in the US has shifted that you thought this was sincere to start with.

        TBH it’s more that I have a naive work ethic and assume someone performing such a serious and impactful job would only do so sincerely, but I agree.

      Menstruation is already outlawed if out includes an unimplanted but fertilized egg.

      It’s just very hard to prove.
