Get it? It’s symbolism. Texas state Rep. Jessica Farrar (D), who is a vocal proponent of women’s “right to choose,” wants men in the Lonestar State to walk a mile in their shoes.

On Friday Farrar  filed House Bill 4260, aka “Man’s Right To Know Act,” which would fine men $100 for masturbating and require them to read a booklet on the benefits and concerns of man seeking a vasectomy, a Viagra prescription, or a colonoscopy. (Colonoscopy?)

According to Farrar, if a man’s semen is not used to create a pregnancy, “then it’s a waste … because that semen can be used  — and is to be used — for creating more human life.” She continues (via The Texas Tribune):

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Men have to answer for their actions and so forth. So if there’s going to be an emission, it would have to be done in a hospital where the semen could be preserved for future pregnancies or it would be directly deposited into the vagina of a woman.

Following Farrar’s mock theory on the “sanctity of life” (a phrase she widely disparages) to its (il)logical conclusion, all sexual intercourse carried out toward non-procreative ends would need to be outlawed. That means not only denying married couples the right to “consortium” — as it is defined under the law in many states — but all sexual activity between homosexuals would need to be criminalized.

One of Farrar’s fellow lawmakers, Tony Tinderholt (R), is quoted as saying:

I’m embarrassed for Representative Farrar. Her attempt to compare [HB 4260] to the abortion issue shows a lack of a basic understanding of human biology. I would recommend that she consider taking a high school biology class from a local public or charter school before filing another bill on the matter.

At least!
