Nah, edging is still legal
This is taking No Nut November to a whole new level
100% of men are murderers then
(a) Donated or sold to a facility for the purpose of future procedures to fertilize an embryo;

Whether they accept donations from the bank of Cream and Loan is another story though.
The target obscure British comedy group named after the pet snake of one of their WW2 generals wrote a song about this exact situation:
Cue the cast of Monty Python singing, ”Every sperm is sacred...."
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).
