    To highlight how absolutely stupid this bill is, it sounds like it would outlaw menstruation and nocturnal emissions.

    Land of the free.

    Edit: it sounds like this is intentionally facetious to point out the absurdity of other pro-life bills.

    So nobody is going to talk about how he said “without the intent to fertilize an embryo” and not “fertilize an egg”? You can’t fertilize an embryo lmao

    It shall be unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material

    Genetic Material is DNA. Dry skin falling off is technically discharging genetic material. As is bleeding…

    Technically a woman would be grossly violating this with every period… or by giving birth.

    I didn’t see the party of the politician in the article, so no idea if it is written in jest or just regular old Republican whackiness.

    The most entertaining part is that it is written as applying to men, but as written it is gender neutral and would penalize menstruation.

    Edit: It is a Dem having a lark.

        O… kay. Was I correct? I tried interpreting the rules listed in the link and drew a conclusion about what they’re trying to achieve. 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for trying to help, good buddy.

            I tried interpreting the rules listed in the link and drew a conclusion

            This is what I said. Did you read that part? I did read it, I’m just not certain what the real agenda is behind this ridiculous nonsense.

            You’ve made two replies now wasting your energy by being rude instead of helping. Is this how you treat people you meet in person as well? Sheesh, bro.

            Also your question makes no sense. I’m “not interested” yet I’m still asking? Who would ask if they’re not interested? That makes no sense. Just like someone replying with rude shit instead of helping. That also makes zero sense.

      Culture war idiocy. That’s it.

      Edit: Merp, the bill is actually satire. It’s an actual bill, filed in an actual legislature, but the person who filed it is a Democrat, and it’s pretty obvious it’s intentionally worded to be absolutely absurd (coming from a Democrat, to be clear, because I’d take them at their word if a Nationalist Christian wrote it).
