    As written by Sen. Bradford Blackmon, the bill would make it “unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.”

    Biology really isn’t my thing, but I think this might make it illegal for a woman to have her period?

      DNA is genetic material. If all cells have DNA in their nucleus, then any bodily function is now illegal unless you also get someone pregnant.

      But also if they don’t define what embryo, maybe we can all just carry around a can of caviar for safety?

      Makes it illegal to shed skin cells, blow your nose, spit out phlegm, use the bathroom.

      There should be some genetic material in everything coming out of you. This whole state is about to have to cross state lines every time they have to take a shit.

      Biology is even less of the GOPs thing, you’re definitely fully qualified to have this discussion with them.

        The bill was introduced by a pro-choice democrat.

        Poe’s Law is in full effect in this comments section; So many people have missed the fact that the bill is hyperbolic on purpose. It’s meant to be sarcastic to poke fun at pro-life republicans, not actually something that has any chance of passing.

        The fact that you believed it was real means it was successful in shining a light on pro-lifers’ craziness.

          What about my comment makes you think I was talking about this bill’s sponsor? The discussions OP was hesitant about having were needing to be done with people who also know nothing about biology, something forced-birthers struggle with.

          I guess “them” could have referenced the sponsor, tying them to an earlier mention of GOP. Sorry for the ambiguity.
