> A [proposed bill](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/mississippi-lawmaker-introduces-contraception-begins-erection-act-rcna188938) in Mississippi ‘_would make it unlawful for “a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.”_’ Essentially, it would outlaw choking the chicken.
