Ohio lawmakers are prepared to introduce a new bill that would be called the “Conception Begins At Erection Act” which would make it illegal for men to have sex without intent to make a baby.
The bill is sponsored by Reps. Anita Somani (D-Dublin) and Tristan Rader (D-Lakewood).
Rader and Somani posted a video on X saying their new bill would hold men accountable for their role in unwanted pregnancies.
“Fair is fair, right? If this legislature is so dedicated to regulating women’s bodies and their access to contraceptives then let’s start policing men in the same way,” Somani said in the video.
“After all, it does take two to tango, right? Our bill would make it illegal to discharge semen or genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo,” Somani added
A memo sent out by Rader and Somani to other representatives to co sponsor says “the legislation seeks to ensure that men share responsibility in reproductive health, particularly in light of the numerous bills introduced across the country in recent years that disproportionally target women’s access to abortion and contraception.”
The “Conception Begins At Erection Act” is expected to offer clear exceptions for sperm donation, the use of contraception to prevent fertilization, masturbation, and the LGBTQIA community.
The act would establish penalties for anyone who “discharges” genetic material without intent to fertilize an embryo. Those penalties are:
$1,000 for first offense
$5,000 for second offense
$10,000 for any subsequent offense
The bill has not formally been introduced yet, so the language of the bill has not been made available online.
The lawmakers say the point of "The Conception Begins at Erection Act" is to "call out the hypocrisy" of "bills that regulate women’s bodies."
ANd they sure as heck are rising to it.
Crazy feminazis think they’re clever. They’re not even clever by half.
I can’t stop a woman from getting an abortion, but I shouldn’t have to pay for it.
Anita Somani is a physician. That is super scary to me. I mean what medical college thought she had the brains to practice medicine?
That is very ignorant. You mean no e******** for fun?
Put all women in Burqas and there would less of those things going around.
gniKcuF stupid and unacceptable
Where is the woman’s responsibility in this?
Just another law to saddle a man with a decision he had no say in
For all the guys who remember high school, especially back when teens girls were pretty, well.
Gawd I’d say these women are stupid but, you can’t really say that because it would be redundant, since they already know
The bill would have no impact on Maxine Water’s husband.
What about men who are infertile or have had a vasectomy? They could not legally copulate.
Two words: That’s crazy!
I looked her up
I think she is disappointed in how her life turned put and that no man would even touch her with a barge pole.
Hell, freight trains would take dirt roads to avoid looking at her
What do you call the person who graduates at the bottom of the class in medical school? Doctor.
All too often, I’d say.
Or clever in general.

Anita Somani= I need a So Manny!
Tristan Rader= Trysting Radar.
