Well she put the "Every sperm is sacred" clause in the bill as a sarcastic effort to point out the absurdity of it. It's like when the Pubs try to force religion down the throats of public schools, the Dems come in and put clauses in these bills to recognize the rights of Scientology or something to that effect. Then there's also the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster... They argue in court that their religion is just as valid as the christian versions anytime there's a challlenge that creationism be taught as science.

Dale, she wasn't being serious, she introduced the bill as a joke. This would outlaw masturbation by men, anal sex, sex with condoms, all forms of fellatio to completion, as well as numerous other acts. She later withdrew the measure, but stated that she had inserted it to highlight the absurdity and sexism inherent in the current bill.

I think it's a joke, Dale!
