Kentucky lawmaker spoofs anti-abortion measures with Viagra bill
Frankfort -- What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Angered by several anti-abortion bills this winter with language restricting a woman’s relationship with her doctor, Democratic state Rep. Mary Lou Marzian fired back Thursday with a bill to limit men’s access to Viagra and other erectile-dysfunction drugs.
House Bill 396 warns men of the health risks of sexual-enhancement pills — “such as an erection that will not go away and lasts more than four hours, sudden vision loss in one or both eyes, and sudden hearing decrease” — and it requires them to have two visits with their doctor on separate days before they get a prescription, so they have time to truly consider what they’re doing.
Even after two visits, doctors could only prescribe the pills to men who are married, with a signed and dated letter from their spouse confirming plans to use the pills together. Finally, the man must place his hand on the Bible and swear that he will use the pills to have sex with “his current spouse.”
