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.

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.

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.
