"All across the country, especially here in Mississippi, the vast majority of bills relating to contraception and/or abortion focus on the woman’s role when men are fifty percent of the equation," he wrote. "This bill highlights that fact and brings the man’s role into the conversation. People can get up in arms and call it absurd but I can’t say that bothers me."

It's a Democrat introduced bill with no chance of passing. The intent is to point out the absurdity and creepiness of controlling people's bodies and sex lives by flipping the gender. Kind of clever.
