COLUMBUS – Before getting a prescription for Viagra or other erectile dysfunction drugs, men would have to see a sex therapist, receive a cardiac stress test and get a notarized affidavit signed by a sexual partner affirming impotency, if state Sen. Nina Turner has her way.
The Cleveland Democrat introduced Senate Bill 307 this week.
A critic of efforts to restrict abortion and contraception for women, Turner says she is concerned about men’s reproductive health. Turner’s bill joins a trend of female lawmakers submitting bills regulating men’s health. Turner said if state policymakers want to legislate women’s health choices through measures such as House Bill 125, known as the “Heartbeat bill,” they should also be able to legislate men’s reproductive health. Ohio anti-abortion advocates say the two can’t be compared.
Heartbeat bill sponsor Rep. Lynn Wachtmann, R-Napoleon, said comparing his bill to Turner’s would be like comparing apples to bananas. The Heartbeat bill would prohibit abortion once a heartbeat is detected, as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.
“I understand some women think my bill is a personal affront,” Wachtmann said. “Protecting the unborn — to compare this to Viagra is not even related.”
Under Senate Bill 307, men taking the drugs would continue to be tested for heart problems, receive counseling about possible side effects and receive information about “pursuing celibacy as a viable lifestyle choice.”

Well while we’re at it lets regulate KY jelly and demand that a doctor and notarized affidavit from a witness declare the woman too dry...
Idiot.
“Innies” to “Outies?”
And I was just saying to my very liberal male friend who is 70 years old that we could solve a whole lot of women’s health issues if all the men would just get vasectomies. The government would pay for it and it would solve the population problem too!!!!!!!!!!!
He shut right up about women’s health issues, and I do mean RIGT up.
RIGHT up.
Here’s what the doctor’s visit should do.
1) Show the patient a bunch of centerfolds
2) If nothing happens, viagra is prescribed
This illustrates the fact that dumb women view all men in incredibly superficial terms.
When society stops presumptively demonizing biological fathers as deserters by default.
Women who are rejected by men the most hate men for rejecting them.
What a dim-witted dim this woman is. Using farce to advance her agenda. What happened to Rush when he did that? But she has some good ideas. How about a lengthy mental health evaluation before an abortion? Or testimony from sexual partner before a woman gets the pill? Somehow I don’t think Rep. Pinko will go for that.
Keep your eyes on that boy afore he ends up in jail eh.
As far as I know this person is not hitting on anyone except his wife, who is not me. I just love to have political arguments with him because he gets mad and it’s fun.
