Call your Republican now! Request a follow-up to the ‘spilled semen’ amendment
Ask your Republican to Ban menstruation now!
A proposed “personhood” bill in Oklahoma would define human life as beginning at the moment of conception. In response, Oklahoma State Sen. Constance Johnson tried to amend the legislation to make it illegal for men to spill their seed outside a woman’s vagina.
“As a woman and a 31-year veteran of the legislative process in Oklahoma, I am increasingly offended by state law trends that solely focus on the female’s role in the reproductive process,” she explained on The Guardian. “With Oklahoma’s new, never-before-experienced Republican majority, we are seeing enactment of more and more measures that adversely affect women and their rights to access safe medical procedures when making reproductive healthcare decisions. ”
The “personhood” bill would ban all forms of abortion and to set up a legal challenge to Roe v. Wade, which upheld a woman’s right to an abortion until the fetus is viable outside the womb. Critics of the bill have said that it wouldn’t just outlaw abortion, it would also affect common birth control methods, the treatment of ectopic pregnancy, in vitro fertilization, and stem cell research.
