    “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,” he wrote. “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.”

    It’s a Democrat introduced bill with no chance of passing. The intent is to point out the absurdity and creepiness of controlling people’s bodies and sex lives by flipping the gender. Kind of clever.

      Let the heathens spill theirs
      on dusty ground
      God shall make them pay for
      Each sperm that can’t be found

    This was introduced as a joke, right? It was introduced by a Democrat. This has to just be an elaborate, rhetorical statement.

      It’s not serious. It was introduced by a democrat in order to try and get men to think about a contraception law targeting them for once and not just women. I think. Idk. I spaced out reading the article tbh. Just depressing to me this is what democrats are spending their effort on

        Ah that makes sense. I didn’t read closely enough. There have been so many crazy laws attempted by Republicans, I just assumed.
