Mississippi Legislature 'Contraception Begins at Erection Act' (opens in new tab)

This is not The Onion.

"The bill, titled the "Contraception Begins at Erection Act," would make it unlawful for "a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo." It includes exceptions for sperm donation and using contraception to prevent fertilization.

The bill, introduced Monday, imposes fines of $1,000 for a first offense, $5,000 for a second offense and $10,000 for any subsequent offenses."

Note that this bill was put forward by a black Democratic senator, so is probably more like a protest bill (making a statement against laws prohibiting abortion) that has no chance of actually becoming law.

OnlyFans aside where would they find a significant number of people to fine? Omegle is gone right? It would be ironic if people jokingly voted for this and it somehow became law. Kindof a Boaty McBoatface style crowd sourced mishap.

This might be the funniest thing I read in a while.
