(2) It shall be unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.

Genesis 38:8-10:

Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.” But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also.

Not only was God pissed off with Onan, but now the State of Mississippi was weighing in.

Also spitting, crying (tears), blowing your nose, pissing and taking a dump, losing hairs and dead skin cells,...

Don't forget a haircut! Or clipping finger nails! What about a shave?

These are all MINI-GENOCIDES.
