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.”

Please show me where the Constitution specifically gives the federal government the power to pass laws against abortion.  Those powers are reserved to the states.  Or, more accurately, have been incorporated against the states via the 14th amendment.

Birth control and abortion was known and widely practiced in society back to Egyptian times and early Chinese dynasties.  It was known, understood, and practiced by women in colonial America.  If the framers of the Constitution had considered it to be anywhere near as huge an issue as you apparently do, one thinks they would have made some provision against it in their magnum opus, hmm?  

No?

Or perhaps in some of the state constitutions they had involvement in drafting...  

Still nothing?

Or at least tried to make the case for it in the Federalist Papers or their writings, if it wasn't successfully included in any of those governmental templates...?

...strange, there doesn't seem to be any mention or appearance of the issue in any of those places.  It's almost as if...    ...as if it wasn't something they believed federal or even state governments should have any involvement in.

IDK if they use a stress test or other tests to check cardiac function, but I'd prefer to see the standard of care enforced this way than by malpractice cases that are the result of fatal disease that would have been detected if the prescribing physician had done his job properly.

And like I said, the rest of it is .

Actually, it is not.   You're thinking of the Declaration of Independence.

Very true.

In TN, and some other states, if a married man wants to get a vasectomy, his wife has to sign off on it.

However, if the same wife gets pregnant and wants an abortion she can get one and the husband does not even have to be told.

Where is the equity in that???

It is not about the merits of the idea.  

The last thing we need is one more thing that requires government permission.

Let's regulate Congresswoman Turner's damned dildos by requiring a statement from an electrician, her cardiologist, and the Energizer Bunny.

2. This might end up costing her come election time

3. This bill will go nowhere





Now with that out of the way, I must say...part of me can't blame her. The amount of laws passed regarding morning after pills, abortion, ultrasounds, blahblahblah is utterly ridiculous. Let women do what they want to do, so I don't have a Facebook news feed littered with posts about birth control from bitches I work with, know from school, and/or are friends with. Their rants make them sound incredibly stupid and annoying, and it usually makes me want to defriend them.

Double fail.



The abortion debate is that the Fed.gov restricts states from passing laws against abortion. The SCOTUS ruled that a woman has a right to privacy and that privacy exceeds the 10th amendment. However, they also said that at some point in the pregnancy, the rights of the fetus outweighs the woman's right to privacy. Therein lies the debate.

States. They aren't restricted the same way the US Government is. Absent Roe, of course states have the authority to regulate abortion (barring some specific limitation in the state constitution).
