James Webb Space Telescope Suggests Universe Might Reside Inside Black Hole

Two Democratic Representatives in Ohio have introduced the "Conception Begins at Erection Act," which proposes making it a felony for men to engage in unprotected sex unless they intend to conceive a child. If passed, the new legislation could lead to severe penalties for men who “discharge genetic material” without an intention to cause pregnancy, including felony charges. The bill includes exceptions for use of protection, masturbation, sperm donation, or individuals identifying as LGBTQ+, as stated by co-sponsor Rep. Anita Somani.
Somani, a practicing gynecologist, acknowledged the absurdity of the proposal in an editorial for the Columbus Dispatch, stating, “Is my bill offensive because it dares to attack men? Maybe.” The intent behind the bill is to draw attention to the disparities in reproductive rights between men and women across different states in the U.S. Somani emphasized that such reproductive health decisions should involve the patient and physician, free from punitive measures influenced by conservative policies. A similar bill was introduced in Mississippi recently.
