Which is great until you remember that the religious right is okay with that idea
It'd legitimately be hilarious if they introduced it on the House floor and the general response was, "Oh, yeah, this is perfect!" and it somehow passed.
Hilarious, but awful. This has cursed monkey paw wish written all over it.
I don't live in the USA, so I would be very amused to see these things pass.
It's already happened. Not this exact bill, but a "inception begins at ejaculation" bill. Forget which idiot Congressman proposed it.
I believe they actually did it before these people started to attempt to use it to troll people.

Yah, the at times almost universal male genital mutilation in the US goes back to religious nutjobs like Kellog & co to stop boys from masturbating. It's also what motivated Kellog, in his quest for the blandest food, to invent cornflakes, because, apparently, spicy foods make you naughty. Good Glob, I wish I was kidding.

These performative bills are so dumb; you can't shame the shameless. Republicans are open hypocrites. You think they care about this?
Push laws for actual protections against people being hurt
Absolutely will not happen in Ohio, the only way the statehouse could do anything beneficial for it's citizens would be to have a massive gas leak
They are too busy hurting people.

I'm already several hundred thousand in debt.

Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,

The name seems like it has to have also been a dick joke, but I looked it up and apparently not.
Differing, somewhat confusing accounts are given of the origins of the Python name, although the members agree that its only "significance" was that they thought it sounded funny. In the 1998 documentary Live at Aspen during the US Comedy Arts Festival, where the troupe was awarded the AFI Star Award by the American Film Institute, the group implied that "Monty" was selected (Eric Idle's idea) as a gently mocking tribute to Field Marshal Lord Montgomery, a British general of World War II; requiring a "slippery-sounding" surname, they settled on "Python". On other occasions, Idle has claimed that the name "Monty" was that of a popular and rotund fellow who drank in his local pub; people would often walk in and ask the barman, "Has Monty been in yet?", forcing the name to become stuck in his mind. The name Monty Python was later described by the BBC as being "envisaged by the team as the perfect name for a sleazy entertainment agent".[24]

the fake christians of America prove why freedom of religion also means freedom from religion.
the term "moneyshot" gets a whole new meaning
That just makes having a wank more thrilling, getting close knowing you're about to reach a 100 grand fine that day.
America, edging its way to a theocracy.
"Your Honor, I was trying to get the Kleenex pregnant."
This week Im going to petition the Michigan government to build a yuge wall between us and Ohio. I don't want any more chronic masterbaters roaming our streets, they belong in Cleveland.
if they pass this law, people would go out jerking off everywhere in protest
I mean, what about people with vasectomy? Do we just get the death sentence?

Well, there goes my retirement.
Gun owning Americans, not being allowed to jerk off.
That's probably fine...

That's a lot of overdraft fees. Just gonna make me masturbate even harder though.
Their bill has some exceptions, as it says men in Ohio will not be fined if they are using birth control, donating sperm, masturbating, or having sex with another man or member of the LGBTQ+ community. The bill is specifically aimed at men having straight sex without protection who do not then create a baby.
