I think this is a joke, but....

Mississippi state Sen. Bradford Blackmon, a Democrat, introduced a bill this week that would seemingly ban men from masturbating or engaging in other sexual acts when they have no "intent to fertilize an embryo."

The bill, titled the "Contraception Begins at Erection Act," would make it unlawful for "a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo." It includes exceptions for sperm donation and using contraception to prevent fertilization.

The bill, introduced Monday, would impose fines of $1,000 for a first offense, $5,000 for a second offense and $10,000 for any subsequent offenses.

The bill is unlikely to pass the GOP-led Legislature, but if it does and is signed into law by Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican, it would go into effect in July.

Blackmon, a first-term senator representing a district north of Jackson, the capital, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Republicans in MS legislature mulling over supporting this Bill. Ceptin for the jackin off part it sounds down right Christian. Let’s amend it a little, call it our own and get hugged in church on Sunday.

I THINK IT IS BRILLIANT AND SHOULD BE ENACTED INTO LAW IN EVERY RED STATE, INCLUDING THE “JACKIN OFF” PROVISO.
