It’s back. Senate Bill 2088 – “Contraception Begins at Erection Act.”

It shall be unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an egg.

Upon conviction of a violation of this section, a person shall be fined as follows, and the fine shall be payable to the woman whose egg was fertilized as a result of the act:

One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) for a first offense;

Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) for a second offense; and

Ten Thousand Dollars (10,000.00) for a third or subsequent offense.

This section shall not apply to the discharge of genetic material:

(a) Donated or sold to a facility for the purpose of future procedures to fertilize an egg; and

(b) Discharged with the use of a contraceptive or contraceptive method intended to prevent fertilization of an egg.

This “Bill” is dead on arrival, but it is thought-provoking.

It makes it illegal to fertilize an egg without the intent to fertilize it. Recreational intercourse is outlawed by this bill! No exceptions for marriage or otherwise. And to guarantee its failure the fine goes to the woman that was impregnated! You know the Government is going to always get their$!

Its ultimately a harmless bill intended to shine some light on perceived gender inequalities

Matthew Thompson is family law attorney and gets a chuckle out of bills such as this.
