Mississippi State Senator Bradford Blackmon has sparked a debate after introducing a provocative new bill titled the âContraception Begins at Erection Act.âÂ
The legislation proposes making it âunlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo,â taking aim at the male role in reproduction. Under the proposed law, violators would face escalating penalties, culminating in a $10,000 fine for a third offense.
In a statement to WLBT News, Blackmon addressed the billâs intent, explaining that it challenges the one-sided nature of many reproductive health laws.Â
âAll across the country, especially here in Mississippi, the vast majority of bills relating to contraception and/or abortion focus on the womanâs role when men are fifty percent of the equation,â Blackmon said.
Just in case thereâs any doubt, the repugnant meme âYour Body, My Choice, Foreverâ is real. It was posted by a infamous American neo-nazi the day after the presidential election and it quickly gained popularity in some dark corners of the internet.
I copied and put this where those who donât read the ârepliesâ can see it.BeeKay about 2 hours agoRep. Blackmon issued this statement:
PRESS STATEMENT: The filing of this bill is to point out the double standards in legislation. You have male dominated legislatures in Mississippi and all over the country that pass laws that dictate what a woman can and can not do with her body. I was raised by strong parents that preached equality for all. My mother and my father both believe in equal rights for women. One of the reasons why this legislation is so important is that with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, it has not only impacted womenâs ability to get abortion care but it has also affected womenâs ability to access basic gynecological care that includes contraceptive care.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 isnât 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, indicates 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 vs. Wade. It is rich that the landmark Supreme Court decision of Dobbs v Jackson Womenâs Health Organization began it all, here, in the State of Mississippi.
I have his name and address, but I wonât post it. Itâs easy to find. In fact, if you watch Svengoolie, he mentions the suburb often. Heâs in trouble for assaulting a woman who dared to ring his doorbell.
But, if you have an especially big mouth, it might cost you $83 + $5 million. The cost for this type of attitude used to be high, before outright criminality was allowed.
Jimmy Carr has a version of this, âSure, you can have sex with anyone you want at anytime you wish, as long as itâs with me, when I say.â
Carr can say this and âget awayâ with it because thatâs his schtick and we know what to expect. Sort of like a Benny Hill with an âenhancedâ vocabulary.
Excellent cartoon making a serious point. A corollary assertion: Women ( for purposes of this argument Iâm asserting âwomenâ exist without need of further definition) should absolutely and certainly have sovereignty over their own bodies and reproductive choices. They do not, however, have such sovereignty over another personâs life or death. At some point in its development, the âclump of cellsâ developing in a womanâs womb has become another person. Serious thought and scientific endeavor, as well as much political fervor and speculation, is currently being devoted to defining when that point is.

Sheep shears? OK, but before you start, hold up the shears and say, âHmmm, no, these are too small. Iâll need something bigger.â
Then, while he is puffing up about his size, whip out the steer emasculator⊠and emasculate!

If only she could have clipped his father.
Come to think of it, that would probably dissuade many a parent: âIf you produce children bad enough, weâll neuter YOU.â
(It would strike fear in MY heart.)

Resistance comes in many forms, and the artists will lead the way. Good on you, John and Jenny.
