America is filled with anti-abortion activists and there's not much we can do about it. Comedian Sarah Silverman, however, has a solution. Make reproductive laws even stricter — for men.

During a May 22 stand-up set at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City, the 45-year-old suggested an equal opportunity proposition for pro-lifers: Stop men from masturbating, so a sperm's life can be spared.

"Here's something that I learned that is fascinating, and it's this: Scientists have found that sperm cells smell," Silverman said during her set. "Like I know sperm smells, but sperm cells have the sense of smell, and you know what that means: Sperm is life. And you know what that means: We've gotta legislate that shit."
