A new bill proposed in Mississippi aims to make it illegal for men to masturbate outside of fertility clinics, sparking debate about personal freedom and reproductive rights.
A controversial bill has been proposed in Mississippi that would effectively criminalize male masturbation outside of the context of fertility treatment. The bill, titled the ' Contraception Begins at Erection Act,' aims to make it illegal for a person to discharge sperm without the intent to fertilize an embryo. Under the proposed legislation, violators would face escalating monetary penalties rather than jail time.
A first offense would result in a $1,000 fine, a second offense in a $5,000 fine, and any subsequent offenses would incur a $10,000 penalty. The bill's exemptions are limited to instances where genetic material is discharged with the use of a contraceptive method designed to prevent fertilization. This has sparked widespread debate and criticism, with opponents arguing that it constitutes an unwarranted intrusion into personal privacy and bodily autonomy
