SEX

Daily Beast - A new bill was introduced this week in Mississippi that would make it illegal for a man to masturbate or engage in other sexual acts when they have no “intent to fertilize an embryo.” Mississippi state Sen. Bradford Blackmon on Monday filed the "Contraception Begins at Erection Act," which would make it unlawful for “a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo,” according to NBC News. The Democrat suggested in a statement to news station WLBT that the bill was inspired by the influx of legislative bills in recent years targeting women’s reproductive rights... The bill proposes fines ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. It is unlikely to pass in the Republican-dominated legislature in Mississippi, which is one of 12 states that have total or near total abortion bans.
