Dem State Senator Mocks GOP Pro-Lifers, Introduces ‘Contraception Begins At Erection Act’

In an apparent attempt to mock pro-life Republicans, a Mississippi Democrat state senator has introduced a bill with a highly unusual name.

State Sen. Bradford Blackmon (D) introduced the “Contraception Begins at Erection Act,” which would make it illegal for someone “to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.”

“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 told WLBT News. “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.”

Fines to be implemented would be $1,000 for a first offense, $5,000 for a second offense, and $10,000 for a third offense. The bill states that the law would not apply to sperm “donated or sold to a facility for the purpose of future procedures to fertilize an embryo or discharged with the use of a contraceptive or contraceptive method intended to prevent fertilization.”

“You have male-dominated legislatures in Mississippi and all over the country that pass laws that dictate what a woman can and cannot do with her body,” Blackmon said. “I was raised by strong parents that preached equality for all. My mother and my father both believe in equal rights for women … When a bill has been filed that would regulate what a man is able to do with his own body in his own home, it suddenly has people in an uproar. I am trying to figure out when it isn’t okay for the government to dictate what you do in the privacy of your own home, apparently it is when the laws regulate men.”

“The reactions from some quarters relating to my bill indicate that men are not held to the same standard when it comes to the intrusion into their personal private affairs as women have been held to with the reversal of Roe v. Wade,” Blackmon declared. ”It is rich that the landmark Supreme Court decision of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization began it all, here, in the state of Mississippi.”

Conservative pundit, Erick Erickson, responded to Blackmon’s bill on X, saying, “You can immediately tell this legislator is a Democrat because the piece doesn’t mention his party affiliation at all.”
