BREAKING: Democratic State Senator Bradford Blackmon of Mississippi introduces a bill called the "Contraception Begins at Erection Act" to brilliantly troll Republican anti-abortion laws that claim life begins at conception.
This has Republicans seething with rage and it gets even better...
Drawing sharp attention to the absurdity of so-called "pro-life" laws, the bill would make it illegal for men to "discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo."
The dehumanizing, controlling language perfectly mirrors the rhetoric that Republicans use when discussing women's bodies and the right to choose.
It goes a step further and parodies the "exceptions" that conservatives sometimes carve out in anti-abortion laws by stating that it will still be legal to donate sperm and use contraception to prevent impregnation.
Violators would be hit with $1,000 the first time, $5,000 the second, and $10,000 for all subsequent violations.
The bill, of course, will not pass in the Republican-controlled Legislature and Blackmon does not intend for it to.
"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," Blackmon wrote to NBC affiliate WLBT of Jackson.
"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," he added.

I'm quite disappointed and disgusted with the Democrats. Are they part of it? They did nothing to help with the situation. There are only a few passionate Dems like Chris Murphy. I've been a lifelong Democrat since 1976 and right now I'm thinking of leaving the party. Now the suffering begins that could have been avoided.
The Dems handed the narrative to MAGA by refusing to demand audits or recounts, fearing the 'election denier' label. Accountability isn't denial🚫it's ensuring faith in democracy. Their silence cost us big.
Smart Elections and Election Truth Alliance are the ones gathering the data and extrapolating the info. They need help from all citizens for all counties and states, in particular the swing states. The faster they can get info the more proof we will have.
The work that I did for 40 years was an analyst...it is what I do. I do it well. I am looking at the data being culled from our voting records by Smart Elections and the Election Truth Alliance....folks we've been had. The cheaters were so inept they didn't even try to make
