IsambardPrincehttps://www.wlbt.com/2025/01/22/mississippi-politician-files-contraception-begins-erection-act/Jan 25 09:28
IsambardPrinceIt would make it a crime punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 to ejaculate without the intent of getting someone pregnant.Jan 25 09:28
IsambardPrinceBut it doesn't even say that. It says that the crime shall be to "discharge genetic material" without the intent of getting someone pregnant.Jan 25 09:28
IsambardPrinceLiterally everything in or on your body is genetic material, and so are most of the clothes you wear, so you not only constantly eject genetic material, but your clothing, which is on you, does as well, and you eject genetic material on your clothing and your clothing ejects it into the environment. Sometimes I even sit on the toilet with coffee doomscrolling the news on my phone while plopping some genetic material I ate the day Jan 25 09:28
IsambardPrincebefore into the bowl. Jan 25 09:28
IsambardPrinceThey say everybody poops, but in Mississippi, that's pure concentrated evil coming out of your behind. And honestly, mine could run my grandmother out of the building even though she's lived on Boost and Toaster Strudels for almost 30 years.Jan 25 09:28
IsambardPrinceIt's a good thing that everyone prefers their own brand, I suppose.Jan 25 09:28
IsambardPrinceAnd there's just a lot of ejecting of various genetic material, all without the intent of getting someone knocked up.Jan 25 09:28
IsambardPrinceSo a good question would be, how to define the act of ejecting genetic material. It is a $10,000 fine for an act that spans your entire life (and after you die, you know....the coffin seals turn things into a pressure cooker, and the genetic material, the bacteria in your gut that used to digest food, starts to digest you. So eventually your guts liquify and explode coming out of your orifices....it's dead, and rotten, and Jan 25 09:28
IsambardPrinceputrefied, but it's a genetic ejection nonetheless, and all without getting someone pregnant...tsk tsk.)Jan 25 09:28
IsambardPrinceAnd a lot of this material can't even get someone pregnant at all, so what good is it?Jan 25 09:28
IsambardPrinceNow, the mens rea of the crime, so to speak, would be that without a guilty mind there can be no crime, so for the crime to occur it would have to be intentional ejection, although the law doesn't specify that, and that precludes most genetic ejection, and you would have to knowingly do so with intent, which would rule out obviously nocturnal emissions, and all sorts of other things people do in a semi-conscious state while Jan 25 09:28
IsambardPrincedreaming of things that cause emissions, not only of genetic material, but carbon, so carbon emissions if you will.Jan 25 09:28
IsambardPrinceNow maybe you were intending for someone to steal that genetic material and impregnate themselves with stolen material you carelessly threw in the garbage. Well, intent springs eternal I say. There was a small chance it would happen, so is such a thing even illegal in Mississippi?Jan 25 09:29
IsambardPrinceThat's for the courts to decide.Jan 25 09:29
