So says Mississippi state Senator Bradford Blackmon. Wow! A guy stepping right up front and telling the scientific community, firmly announcing and answering the question of when life begins!
It starts in a guy's pants. Holy Moses! Save those pants. Future people are already in those pants, and they can fight our wars and kill our enemies.
Say it's cynical, but many people believe life really begins when the last kid is sent off to college. But let's not digress.
Anyway, Mississippi State Senator Blackmon goes on to explain that it is "unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo."
Okay.
Not to accuse the good Senator of possibly being single-minded, but accidents or erections can and do happen, say when you see a delicious-looking chocolate raspberry Pavlova meringue covered with warm butterscotch syrup, topped with whipped cream and crowned with a red cherry! Pop! Or when your team scores a touchdown. Pop!
But no. Senator Blackmon isn't talking about desserts, at least not that kind of dessert. He says: "All across the country, especially here in Mississippi, the vast majority of bills relating to contraception and/or abortion focus on the woman's role when men are fifty percent of the equation."
How can any woman disagree with that Lord-inspired good sense?
Give the Senator the Nobel Prize in every category that piece of knowledge may fit.
Senator Bradford Blackman continues. "There are also fines involved, the third strike resulting in the loss of $10,000 from the perpetrator."
Okay. Sounds right.
How men's pants are to be policed remains a question.
