Mississippi Senator files ‘Contraception Begins at Erection Act’ to ‘bring men into the conversation’

A Mississippi Senator has filed a “Contraception Begins at Erection Act” in a bid to “bring men into the conversation” around reproductive rights.

After Trump took office this week, he stated that there are “only two sexes” and vowed to end “the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life”. A US government website on reproductive rights also went dark during the first moments of his second term.

In a bid to highlight men’s responsibility when it comes to family planning, Mississippi Sen. Bradford Blackmon, a Democrat, has now introduced a new bill. Bill SB2319 would appear to ban men and people who produce sperm from engaging in unprotected sexual acts if they have no “intent to fertilise an embryo”.
