Makes sense. They're all a bunch of dicks.

To highlight how absolutely stupid this bill is, it sounds like it would outlaw menstruation and nocturnal emissions.

Land of the free.

Edit: it sounds like this is intentionally facetious to point out the absurdity of other pro-life bills.

Menstruation is already outlawed if out includes an unimplanted but fertilized egg.

It's just very hard to prove.

Uh, yeah?

If your weiner can't behave when you are AFK it should be in jail!

Yes, correct, it is as absurd as pro-life ideas.

If the Democrats aren't going to be useful, I'm glad they've at least decided to be a little funny.

I didn't see the party of the politician in the article, so no idea if it is written in jest or just regular old Republican whackiness.

The most entertaining part is that it is written as applying to men, but as written it is gender neutral and would penalize menstruation.

Edit: It is a Dem having a lark.

Sure, some may say it’s absurd, but masturbation inspector is a good paying, high quality American job that cannot be exported overseas, and not a job I’d trust to AI.

That state senator is a visionary!

Sending my heart out so hard my shoulder hurts.
