A draft bill was released in Ohio this week, seeking to make ejaculation without the intent of conceiving a baby a felony offense.

Its advocates say the intent is to stir up public debate over reproductive rights and the interpretation – and application – of Biblical law.

If United States’ governments are willing to use interpretations of theological law to regulate women, why not men?

Ohio State Representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rader, the authors of the “Conception Begins at Erection Act,” say it’s a tongue-in-cheek means of highlighting the hypocrisy behind moves to regulate women’s bodies.

“You don’t get pregnant on your own,” observes Representative Somani (Democrat for Dublin).

“If you’re going to penalize someone for an unwanted pregnancy, why not penalize the person who is also responsible for the pregnancy?”

Per WOWKTV:

Ohio lawmakers are preparing to introduce a bill that would make it a crime for men to have unprotected sex if they do not intend on having a baby.

The bill, proposed by Reps. Anita Somani (D-Dublin) and Tristan Rader (D-Lakewood), would make it illegal for men to engage in sexual activity “without the intent to fertilize an embryo.”

“The goal is to draw attention to some of the bills that have been passed in the legislature and also around the country that police or restrict reproductive rights for women,” said Somani, who is also an OBGYN. “Having intercourse, having a baby, involves two people. … The intent is to say that men are equally responsible.”

The legislation, called the “Conception Begins at Erection Act,” allows exceptions, such as when a man wears contraception. It would also not apply to couples in the LGBTQ+ community.
