MEN could be slapped with thousands of dollars in fines each time they have casual sex under a bizarre newly proposed bill.
The proposed law called the “contraception begins at erection act” aims to ban the release of genetic material that is not intended for fertilizing an embryo.
Mississippi State Senator Bradford Blackmon introduced the unbelievable bill in a desperate attempt to include men in contraceptive legislation.
In various states, with Mississippi being a significant example, most bills concerning contraception and abortion mainly emphasize the responsibilities of women, neglecting the equal importance of men in such matters, as highlighted by Blackmon in an interview with NBC’s WLBT.
Blackmon hopes that his cheeky stunt will spark a conversation about how men can be held responsible for pregnancies.
“People can get up in arms and call it absurd, but I can’t say that bothers me,” he said.
Under the new bill, violators would be fined a massive $1,000 for a first offense.
The second slip-up would warrant a $5,000 charge, and a third would bring a massive $10,000 fee.
Men who are donating sperm to a facility for the purposes of fertilizing an embryo won’t be subject to fines.
And if contraception is used, the lucky stag also will dodge the fee.
Blackmon hopes to begin imposing the bill by July 1.
