MODERATORS
Life began about a billion years ago and it's a continuous, ongoing process.
3.5 billion, give or take a few years. There's some evidence life goes back to 4 billion years, but it's not as well-attested as 3.5.
With the last exception being for sex while using contracteption, what's the point of this bill?
Culture war idiocy. That’s it.
Edit: Merp, the bill is actually satire. It’s an actual bill, filed in an actual legislature, but the person who filed it is a Democrat, and it’s pretty obvious it’s intentionally worded to be absolutely absurd (coming from a Democrat, to be clear, because I’d take them at their word if a Nationalist Christian wrote it).

From erection to resurrection?
I recommend the battle beast cover! It just sounds so much better to me with noora singing the lyrics
This could absolutely be used to keep prisoners in prison, and also probably criminalize gay men.

It is Mississippi, what did you expect? Mississippi is one of the core Southern states.
Well, I kind of expected people to click the link to know why he filed it :(
Wouldn't this make more sense as "conception"?
Not if you understand what satire is.
To be fair, the article doesn’t give his party affiliation and if you’re just scrollin’ on by this sounds like it could easily be from a RWNJ who believes masturbation and sex for funsies are sins and the bible should be law. Wikipedia says he’s a dem; I know nothing about him but the quote from him doesn’t read to me as ‘every sperm is sacred.’ Then again it is Mississippi so before reading the actual bill I was only 51% sure it was satire.

..... So is he trolling or what?
He's screwing with conservatives, yes.
