Ohio representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rader are introducing the "Conception Begins At Erection Act," aiming to hold men accountable for unwanted pregnancies by regulating male sexual activity. The bill proposes that it would be illegal for men to engage in sexual acts without the intention of procreation. The lawmakers argue that this legislation highlights the current hypocrisy in regulating women's reproductive rights. Pennalties for non-compliance include escalating fines. Exceptions for sperm donation and contraception use are included, indicating a nuanced approach to reproductive responsibility among genders.
"Why regulate abortion access when you go straight to the source of the issue? Introducing our new bill to hold men accountable for their role in unwanted pregnancies."
"Fair is fair, right? If this legislature is so dedicated to regulating women's bodies and their access to contraceptives, then let's start policing men in the same way."
