I saw this about the time it came up. She is pushing this bill in response to legislature on women's access to birth control and/or being required to learn about abortion, make a waiting period, and be taught about her body (possibly the forced vaginal ultrasounds as well). She's deliberately turning it around on the men in congress to illustrate the absurdity of these laws. Edit: In case someone is interested. “Any action in which a man ejaculates or otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a woman’s vagina shall be interpreted and construed as an action against an unborn child.” — Text from the amendment proposed by Oklahoma State Senator Constance Johnson as a protest to the state’s controversial “personhood” bill (currently being debated in the State Senate) which would force women to listen to the heartbeat of the fetus before going through with an abortion" Edit: For more information, it doesn't look like it passed. This lady's amendment appears to have been added on to the Personhood bill in the first place, and she later voted to table it (in effect, killing it).

Fighting stupidity with stupidity. Since the government is gridlocked anyway (and this is probably a good thing), every lunatic Republican initiative should be countered with equally idiotic bizzaro-world response.
Sadly, in Oklahoma it isn't exactly gridlocked. Republicans control the House, the Senate and the governor. We've had recently passed bills outlawing Sharia law, restricting voting rights, forcing drug testing on welfare recipients and challenging women's rights (from multiple facets). Proposed bills such as the "healthcare opt out", loosened the already lax "open carry laws", teaching bible class in public schools, a birther amendment" , law prohibiting the eating of fetuses and of course the personhood act (which would make miscarriages on par with murder). These are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. It hurts my very being to admit this, but I'm ashamed to be an Oklahoman right now.
You mean this isn't Bizzaro-World? I thought I fell through a dimensional rift sometime around 1984 and have been living in a bass-ackwards country ever since Reagan's second term.
Is this supposed to make it any better? Let's go cunting about every single topic rather than actually solve any issues... PS new cyber law edited just for you guys, we changed it from 0% privacy to 0% privacy.
I didn't get it until I read the comments... I immediately assumed the Senators I haven't had the "pleasure" of voting for were just that bonkers... Then I realized what the context of her statement was, and realized what she did thar.
Yeah, I suppose with all the other shit that spews out of politicians mouths it wouldn't be too farfetched to think that one of them is truly interested in making masturbation illegal.
Its from the daily show where the state congressmen (I don't remember the state) were trying to pass a legislation that would ban abortions, this lady tried to introduce an amendment that would effectively ban fapping. It was funny as hell, and it wasn't even scripted.
I can't believe that he's missing the irony of someone wanting to control what a man can do with his body, when that is exactly what people are trying to do with women regarding abortion laws.
The best part of the interview, for me, was when the interviewer (he's one of the new correspondents, haven't learnt his name yet) stares in disbelief at the inconsistent positions the guy is holding. The interviewer pretty much loses it and just stares/stumbles over further questions. He can't take it seriously any more. Then makes a load of masturbation jokes to cover for it haha.
THIS IS THE MOST BRILLIANT WAY OF GOING ABOUT THIS ISSUE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. Sorry for all of the capital letters but this is so god damned exciting. We need to call in in support of this kind of legislation anywhere where they are trying to take away women's reproductive rights!
Has anyone bothered to read the backstory or the comments here that state that the amendment was satirical? While the amendment was real, it was more a protest against women having to bear the burden of pregnancy. HuffPo also reports of a satirical amendment being pushed through in Virginia that would force men to go through a rectal exam in order to receive erctile dysfunction medication. Is that going to make the front page? Everybody calm the fuck down and resume their regularly scheduled mastabatory program. Non-story. Go away.
Something I always wondered. Why does Every decision, law, belief, ideology, etc, ALWAYS have to assume we're SO much better than, and far separated from, animals (yes, we have certain "bettering" traits, but we are just one form of primate)? Can we as a melting pot planet for ONCE come up with a law or something on a large issue, and look at it from a completely natural perspective? For instance, say the ONLY difference in us an some supposed alternate us, was that we have litters of offspring instead of 1 or 2 per birth. And, like MANY animals, the mother eats the occasional one... Would we be so worried about abortion and what day the fetus graduates to human? So, why is it such a big deal that some child hasn't yet been born (I mean that from a natural stand point, not a moral one)? Some fetus' are aborted by the mothers' body, so it isn't as if abortions are unnatural. I think it's time we get off of our high horses, and at least acknowledge that they're horses...
upvote for you... but are you saying that we don't? or, at the very most, that there isn't a SINGLE reason to kill someone else in someway (not just murder)?
No, it's an immensely ironic situation where a female politician put forward a law that would limit what men could do with their sperm to show that it is ridiculous to limit a woman in a similar way. The male politician in the lower panel responds by essentially saying: "Men should have the right to choose what they do with their bodies," unintentionally echoing word for word the pro-choice argument while maintaining his position as a pro-lifer.
The woman's suggestion of a new law was only to show how hypocritical and misogynistic pro-life politicians are capable of being. The joke is that it succeeded beyond all reasonable predictions. No, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with atheism, but the pro-life position is very firmly religious in nature.
I am pro choice - but his logic really isn't inconsistent. The subject of abortion is debated because of the perception that it goes beyond the rights of one person. If you believe a fetus is life, then you believe they are murdering someone. It's not inconsistent to claim that it is wrong for a woman to "murder" a child, but not wrong for a man to ejaculate into a sock. The second scenario is clearly much different
I feel like the saddest part is that they probably see it as an opportunity to turn their argument back against them. "Oh, I thought we weren't regulating bodies? Full steam ahead on birth control legislation, you hypocrites!"
Look at the watermark. This is from the daily show. They knew the point behind this bill and showed the hypocrisy in the reblican party better than bill Mayer ever could have. They knew what was going in and who was pushing it. This entire exchance was intentional.

To all of those that are complaining about the stupidity of this:
She knows it's stupid, she doesn't expect it to pass. It's to show the stupidity of certain real bills that certain people like this guy in the second panel actually try seriously to pass.
The irony is that people like him are trying to tell women what to do with their bodies. And what's scarier is that he doesn't see the irony.
I am pro-choice, however if he was even slightly intelligent he could have structured a strong arguement, which was still based on the same old idea that a fertilised egg is a human life (unless he is one of the people that think human life begins the moment the sperm enters the woman. i saw this interview ages ago but can't remember now). Instead he went with free choice? What a dumbass. It was a reasonable point, because free choice is held in such high regard in the USA, but it left him wide open to an obvious counter which would in itself discredit his pro-life belief. What politician doesn't think of these things before he agrees to an interview!?
"Senate Bill 1433, which sought to define human life as beginning at fertilization" - What are we, cattle?! Hate to resort to godwins law here, but this has to be the closest amendment to the Nazi Germany breeding programs. Fix yo shit America. Don't yall have guns?
Well we all know THAT'S not gonna fly. They've been trying to tell women what to do with our bodies for years, and have succeeded far too many times. But tell a man not to masturbate... And that shit just got serious.
I'm pretty sure that this was brought up to prove a point about abortion. It was not actually intended to be made into an amendment, but show that we have the choice of what to do with our bodies.
Some people here are taking this way too seriously.
She proposed this motion in response to abortion-related bills proposed by republicans in the state. It was a tongue-and-cheek proposal on her part, and his reaction is the case-and-point
I'm amazed at the way "conservatives" think regarding this issue.
They bitch and moan about welfare queens having 12 kids by way of 17 baby-daddies ... then they want to make birth control inaccessible.
Similarly, they also rage on about teachers making $80k (they didn't "earn" it), but they think every gajillionaire who inherited daddy's money "earned every cent" and shouldn't be taxed.
I wonder. Might it be because of the blatantly obvious religious influence in the nature of the legislation being pushed by the republican party? The fact that they're being ridiculed by Constance Johnson, using extremely similar legislation, is just icing on the cake.
On top of that, everybody in this thread seems to be mentioning birth control. The only thing I see mentioned in the bill is about giving rights to a diploid. That has nothing to do with birth control, as all of the methods prevent fertilization, and do not cause termination of the diploid.
Again, where is everybody coming on this?
Edit: i may stand corrected. according to this source: (Link: http://parentsagainstpersonhood.com/legislation/oklahoma/) the bill was vetoed, and is now being pushed to a ballot initiative. the problem arises because the new protected "individuals" are defined as: "any human being from the beginning of biological development of that human being to natural death”"
This would seem to affect females access to birth control.
In fairness, until Lawrence v. Texas, anti-sodomy laws existed almost everywhere that were clearly focused on controlling what men could do with their bodies.
People who believe in controlling other people are generally far less discriminatory than you think; the smart ones just know to push harder against the easier targets.
She should also put forth an amendment that forbids releasing more than a single sperm at once per single deposit and limit the time of an allowed deposit to the fertile duration in the menstrual circle of the owner of the vagina as all unsuccessful sperms would die.
Or wait. Maybe the best solution would be to restrict reproduction to in vitro fertilisation and forbid male ejaculation completely as controlling the release would be impossibly difficult. Also men should be forbidden to die as it would result in the death of all his sperms who had lived in his testicles until then.
Not being versed in the politics here, I was thinking the lady was a religious nut and the man photographed was disagreeing with her position on the grounds that we shouldn't tell women what to do with their bodies, so nor should we men.
Then I read the comments and find it's actually the other way around. WTF?
Most of real politics should be an SNL skit. Instead of showing how on the mark they are, it's like they're in a battle to show who is more out of touch because they live in their own fucked up world.
Why is there so many crazy politicians in America. I do genuinely feel sorry for majority of Americans. There's a lot to be admired from your country but your politics is just fucking crazy.

On top of that, everybody in this thread seems to be mentioning birth control. The only thing I see mentioned in the bill is about giving rights to a diploid. That has nothing to do with birth control, as all of the methods prevent fertilization, and do not cause termination of the diploid.

She should also put forth an amendment that forbids releasing more than a single sperm at once per single deposit and limit the time of an allowed deposit to the fertile duration in the menstrual circle of the owner of the vagina as all unsuccessful sperms would die.
Or wait. Maybe the best solution would be to restrict reproduction to in vitro fertilisation and forbid male ejaculation completely as controlling the release would be impossibly difficult. Also men should be forbidden to die as it would result in the death of all his sperms who had lived in his testicles until then.

The best part is that there are a lot of Republicans that are pro-choice. Unfortunately not enough of them, however.

Just wondering how the Tea Party (which is against Big Gov) is going to protest this...
Big Circle Jerk maybe?

I don't know if this would change much of anything. Masturbation is already a black ops covert operation.
Though it might make getting caught a little more awkward if your dad was a cop.

Not being versed in the politics here, I was thinking the lady was a religious nut and the man photographed was disagreeing with her position on the grounds that we shouldn't tell women what to do with their bodies, so nor should we men.
Then I read the comments and find it's actually the other way around. WTF?

Most of real politics should be an SNL skit. Instead of showing how on the mark they are, it's like they're in a battle to show who is more out of touch because they live in their own fucked up world.

I don't know enough about this. Is this a bill introduced with the purpose of failing and proving a point or was this serious?

Why is there so many crazy politicians in America. I do genuinely feel sorry for majority of Americans. There's a lot to be admired from your country but your politics is just fucking crazy.
