This new bill in Ohio—demanding men have the “intention to become fathers” when having sex—is beyond ridiculous. It’s a direct attack on pro-life values, but it misses the mark on every level. Who’s going to enforce this? Will we have to carry “intent” certificates to prove we’re not violating the law? It’s a nonsensical political stunt that has no place in serious legislation. Instead of debating real issues, politicians are throwing out laws that only serve to confuse, divide, and pander to extreme political agendas.
‘Conception Begins at Erection Act’: Ohio Democrats push bill regulating male reproduction
Two Ohio lawmakers are proposing a bill to make ejaculation illegal in some circumstances.
Shocking? That’s kind of the point. Ohio Rep. Anita Somani, D-Dublin, posted a video on social media about introducing a bill to make it illegal to “discharge semen or genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.”
Somani compared the bill to regulating abortion access, saying in her post that the legislation would hold men accountable for their role in unwanted pregnancies.
