No more knocking one out in Texas

[biff30xx]

I feel sorry for Texan men. CCTV cameras are to be installed in every bedroom in the state and every attempt by its male inhabitants to milk the snake will result in a fine or lengthy prison terms ... ...

Would it affect Gay men?

"The 'Man's Right To Know Act' is designed to highlight how women have been affected by targeted healthcare legislation in Texas."

On the other hand, if the closest one can get to reminding Random Joe is that women are affected by targeted healthcare legislation is fining a guy for masturbation, it'd be quicker & provide considerably more mental clarity about the topic by asking if a man needs a checkup, and if in the affirmative, remove their balls entirely.

What, no one else wants a checkup that has absolutely nothing to do with what you went in for that causes long-lasting life alterations? To bad.

The piddly shit with the 'Fine', though, won't get men to 'wake up' to anything.

 

[rareboy]

I'd pay the fine.

But I think the point being made is a good one.

Masturbation is not analogous to abortion. Men will naturally eject the semen during nocturnal emissions and the testicles will replace the sperm with fresh sperm if ejaculation does not occur through intercourse or masturbation.
The sperm released in any instance other than artificial means to preserve them will die, they are not comparable to a zygote.

Oh please, most zygotes are flushed down the john as a monthly occurrence. In that respect, they're exactly comparable. All those tiny little spermy lives, thousands wasted! Compared to the one egg a month. Bit hypocritical.

Didn't you know? The Man's Right To Know Act (sec. 12, sub 1-3), includes increased fines for nocturnal emissions detected via moisture sensors embedded in the mattresses. For real!

A zygote or impregnated ovum has the potential and purpose of producing offspring. Most sperm cells are lost even during coitus.

Your sperm has the potential to produce offspring. So does both an unfertilized and a fertilized egg. It either has the ability to help produce offspring or it does not, you don't get to pick and choose when that sperm becomes important if I don't get to do the same thing to the egg. Actual Equality and all that rot. I'm not in the damned mood.

And there's the stats on zygotes. If I were you I'd read through the whole thing.

When the sperm and egg meet and the sperm cell enters the egg, it if it implants in the uterus can produce a human life.
A sperm cell or an ovum on it's own has no potential to do this, therefor wasting sperm is not the same as abortion.

You have an 'IF' up there to go with your 'CAN'. Since the uterus isn't a free floating device, (and an egg, both fertilized and not will leave the body with as much muster and forthrightness as any sperm in your body with no medical procedure involved), it behooves anyone of moderate aforethought to take who has the uterus into account. If you want to keep a fertilized egg, be my guest; you can buy and implant them with the proper paperwork. That doesn't mean anyone else has to keep them if they don't want them.

Since abortion of fertilized zygotes happen often and naturally I can't, with any sort of intellectual honesty, try to say that abortion of the same via medical means is somehow radically different.

The reasoning and analogies here are so far-fetched that they leave my head spinning. And what is the point of this Texas "legislative proposal"? Just to take a slam at abortion opponents? Doesn't Texas have better things to concern itself with, as we watch what our new President and his ilk are doing to this country?

If you're confused about the topic or the arguments you should, perhaps, get off your lazy bum and read the provided links. Including the one in the original post.

And no, you don't have anything better to do. If you did then you wouldn't be here, with your 'how dare people pay attention to restricted, blatantly unequal treatment regarding reproductive capabilities in a living, breathing, independent human body that isn't mine.'.

Here's something else that really isn't a point of contention, scientifically speaking; On their own zygotes are not, and will never be a living, breathing individual human being. No more than your sperm is, anyway.

 

[SaskGuy]

"It's supposed to make men realize that...." so what you're saying is that all men should potentially be punished because of some abortion law in that state?!
I guess North Korea isn't the only place where "guilt by association" is popular.

But trust the left to (jokingly) propose an anti-masturbation law, and then present it as progress. Why not, they already think racism, misandry, and violent religious extremism is progress.

How many of you are lining up for the medically unnecessary rectal digital examination?

Oops, I meant to say "What is the point of this Texas "legislative proposal"? Just to take a slam at pro-abortion people?"

Actually, according to Jennifer Landa, a specialist in hormone therapy told Men’s Health, “Masturbation can [produce] the right environment for a strengthened immune system.” She explained that ejaculation can elevate cortisol levels – a hormone that can actually help regulate and maintain immunity, "in small doses." And back in 2003, a team of Australian researchers found that men who ejaculated more than five times week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer. I guess she wants men in Texas to be less healthy.

She was not serious about this law because she is against pro life and for pro choice.
But it could back fired badly. Just stupid and wasting the courts time.

 

[frankfrank]

Republicans in Texas might actually PASS this ridiculous law. Soon to be complete with mandatory CCTV, semen detectors, and filing weekly penis reports in quadruplicate.

A new state bureaucracy, for the express purpose of auditing the weekly penis reports and random-sample auditing of sensor reports and camera footage, will be formed.

TO COME LATER: sentencing, as second-degree murder, men who have wet dreams at night - just as some women are being sent to prison for miscarriages.
