FULL TITLE: Scientifically Clueless Pro-Abortion Legislator Wants to Fine Men for Masturbating as Act Against Unborn Child
A Texas state lawmakers new pro-abortion bill is doing what she created it to do get attention.
The satirical Texas House Bill 4260, sponsored by state Rep. Jessica Farrar, would fine men $100 for masturbating and require the state to publish an informed consent booklet for men seeking a vasectomy, Viagra or a colonoscopy, among other things, according to The Hill.
The bill is Farrars protest to the abortion regulations passed in Texas in the past few years. She claims it would put the same restrictions on men that Texas abortion laws do on women.
Although HB 4260 is satirical, there is nothing funny about current health care restrictions for women and the very real legislation that is proposed every legislative session, Farrar, a Democrat, wrote on Facebook. Women are not laughing at state-imposed regulations and obstacles that interfere with their ability to legally access safe healthcare, and subject them to fake science and medically unnecessary procedures.
Her bill, which has no chance of passing, would prohibit ejaculation outside either a vagina or medical facility, in what it describes as an act against an unborn child, and failing to preserve the sanctity of life, according to the Independent. It also would provide conscience protections for doctors who do not want to perform a vasectomy or prescribe Viagra because of personal, moralistic or religious beliefs.
What I would like to see is this make people stop and think, Farrar told The Texas Tribune. Maybe my colleagues arent capable of that, but the people who voted for them, or the people that didnt vote at all, I hope that it changes their mind and helps them to decide what the priorities are.
But pro-lifers say Farrar is the one who is isnt thinking. Her bill ignores basic biological facts about human life and abortion.

As Daily Wire contributor Harry Khachatrian commented on Twitter:
It is disingenuous for Farrar to equate male masturbation and ejaculation to the intentional killing of a human life through abortion. A mans sperm and a womans eggs are not separate, individual new life. Only when they are put together do they become a human being a separate, living human entity with his or her own unique DNA. This is well established science.
A sperm has twenty-three chromosomes; even though it is alive and can fertilize an egg, it can never make another sperm, former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop wrote in 1979. An egg also has twenty-three chromosomes, and it can never make another egg. Thus, we have sperm that cannot reproduce and eggs that cannot reproduce unless they get together.
All that makes up the adult is present as the ovum and the sperm are united the whole genetic code, Koop continued.
Pro-lifers do not want to end abortion because we want to control womens bodies, as Farrar implies. Pro-lifers want to end abortion because it destroys the life of an innocent human being inside the womans body. Ending abortion is not about regulating something that has the potential to become a life. Its about protecting an actual, unique, irreplaceable human life from being destroyed.
I thought it was the EPA’s job to set emissions standards.
If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate...
I thought the scientific term was “Deadly Seeman Backup” but yeah. If it doesn’t kill him, it’ll rectum...
And grow hair on the back of their knuckles...
And many fleas.
I’ve only been caught once or twice so I don’t care.
“stop and think ... Maybe my colleagues aren’t capable of that.”

How condescending!
Sperm are not children.
I never thought I would have to say such a thing, or think it for that matter.
Because my balls are pregnant and my sperm require “child support”.
You cannot be that stupid
I guess that would be one way to wipe out the national debt
They don’t understand basic biology. They think a man in a dress is a woman.
Doesn’t masturbation also lead to blindness? /s
“3 Strokes Legislation” ?
Good point.
It’ not “their body” in the womb. It is, however, their kid, which makes it all the more horrific.
Well at least one of us wont pay a dime because his standards are so low.
;-)
What happened to ‘Blue Balls’?
>.<
A much needed law in the lefty democrat party.
And they're always so ugly you'd wonder why they'd write legislation like this. It's not like they'd ever need it.
That Farrar is one ugly dog. Just another ugly feminist trying to get her chops in at men because no one would ask her out in high school.
