A new weapon to fight anti-abortion legislation

Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner (D) has introduced a bill that would require men seeking a prescription for erectile dysfunction medication to (1) see a sex therapist, (2) have a cardiac stress test, (3) present a notarized affidavit from a sex partner stating that he has a problem with impotence, and (4) listen to counseling about celibacy as a viable alternate lifestyle.

Two more legislators in other states have been considering similar bills.   I still like the one that was talked about several years ago that would require a man seeking Viagra to undergo an ultrasound rectal exam to examine his prostate gland.   Remember that law (I believe it's North Carolina) that requires a woman seeking an abortion to undergo a vaginal ultrasound exam?

It's changed for some under Obamacare, but it used to be true that medication insurance covered Viagra but not birth control.   Men make the laws.
