The Contraception Begins at Erection Act was introduced this month by Democratic Mississippi State Senator Bradford Blackmon, who says the bill is intended to spotlight double legislative standards and bring the role of men into the law-making conversation about contraception and abortion.

Last week, Mississippi Sen. Bradford Blackmon introduced a bill that would theoretically ban men from masturbating or engaging in other sexual acts when they have no “intent to fertilize an embryo.” Now, he claims that he has received death threats over the proposed legislation.

A Democratic Mississippi state senator introduced legislation this week that makes it unlawful for men to masturbate "without the intent to fertilize an embryo," with the lawmaker criticizing anti-abortion measures that only "focus on the woman’s role.

A Black lawmaker is getting death threats from men in Mississippi for proposing a bill that would criminalize masturbation.

Mississippi state Senator Bradford Blackmon said he has been receiving death threats from men after he tabled a masturbation ban bill.

Mississippi Senator Bradford Blackmon is raising eyebrows—and apparently some tempers—with his audaciously named “Contraception Begins at Erection Act,” which aims to make masturbation illegal unless the intention is to create a baby.
