A female politician in Texas is taking an unusual swipe at what she sees as restrictive abortion laws by targeting men - more precisely male masturbation. Her unlikely draft law has a simple aim, she says - to protect unborn children everywhere. Which is why it wants all "emissions outside of a woman's vagina, or created outside of a health or medical facility" to carry a $100 (£81) fine. If a man made such an emission it would "be considered an act against an unborn child". If it sounds like something out of a dystopian novel, that is because it is meant to.
Jessica Farrar, a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives, submitted House Bill number 4260 last week. She knows it will never become law. Indeed, it is unlikely to make it far at all. But she argues it is no more extreme than the restrictions put on women by the state of Texas when it comes to choosing whether or not to end their pregnancy. The last straw for her came with the most recent in a string of proposed bills, which she saw as chipping away at women's rights. The latest wanted to force women to choose whether to bury or cremate the embryonic remains of either a miscarriage or abortion. During a hearing for the bill last August, state Senator Don Huffines said: "For far too long, Texas has allowed the most innocent among us to be thrown out with the daily waste." Ms Farrar decided to put a different spin on this belief. "It got me thinking, maybe what's good for the goose is good for the gander," Ms Farrar told the BBC. "If we are taking these measures because of the sanctity of life, well, we just cannot waste any seed."

Drop attention from your sentence and I bet you’d still be right about her.
Jackoff a Tax?
Maybe she should just move to California where she belongs.
This is clearly a pole tax, and those are not progressive.
Besides, Democrats have no problems with pay for play.
If her goal is to discourage ‘self abuse’ then I suggest her image be widely disseminated.
She’ll cure what ails ya, for sure.
I am exempt because I’ve had a vasectomy.
Some of the Magic Thinking that spews from dead souls is astonishing. The demonic urging her onward wants to blur distinction between gametes and embryos. But this twit is too lost to discern that!
Well, it would represent a strong revenue stream ...
But it would only come in spurts?
Her head is up her .... All this because she believes that evil men are trying to take away her precious abortion.
There’s the solution.
I do wish the Texas Legislature had the strength of character to pass this bill into law.
(after amending it to include passing an unfertilized egg...)
If they want to crank up the stupid level, we should crank it up to 11.
I bet this LI(B loser wants to personally “police” this law.
Logic FAIL.
I bet this LIB loser wants to personally “police” this law.
A pole tax, lol. Depends on the definition of “pole”. I was not being serious in my post, as this lawmaker is not serious either.
Substantial penalty for early withdrawal?
Best post from you ever! LOL
I’m pullin’ for this law!
