With the last exception being for sex while using contracteption, what's the point of this bill?

It's facetious, but the GOP won't get it.

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).
