Merge proposal

I propose merging Contraception Begins at Erection Act into this article. I think the content in Contraception Begins at Erection Act can easily be explained and included in this article, as opposed to a separate standalone article for Contraception Begins at Erection Act. Both articles are stubs, so a merge would not cause any article-size or weighting problems, since Blackmon was the sponsor of the legislation. I believe merging is an alternative to deleting the contraception article. A redirect can be left at the contraception article as well. Isaidnoway (talk) 00:15, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - There is already a proposed copycat bill Conception Begins at Erection Act. There is sufficient coverage of this act and it's copycat to meet [[WP:N].GobsPint (talk) 14:42, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But it can still easily be merged into and covered in this article. Isaidnoway (talk) 15:10, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. This is a standalone issue of broader significance than the legislator's identity. 74.122.141.42 (talk) 03:08, 4 April 2025 (UTC)— 74.122.141.42 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
