 Third female lawmaker introduces bill to limit men’s Viagra access    By Liz Goodwin

• SOhio state Rep. Nina Turner (OhioSenate.gov)Democratic Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner is the third female lawmaker to introduce a bill that would limit men's access to Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs to make a statement about the dozens of anti-abortion bills that have passed statehouses around the country over the last year.

   Turner is opposed to a proposed bill that would prohibit abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can happen as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. The Dayton Daily News reports that Turner's bill would mandate that men seeking Viagra be "tested for heart problems, receive counseling about possible side effects and receive information about 'pursuing celibacy as a viable lifestyle choice.'"
Turner said on MSNBC Monday that the bill is about showing "men as much love in the reproductive health arena as they have shown us over the years. My Senate Bill 307 is all about the love and making sure we look out for men's sexual health."
Rep. Lynn Wachtmann, the heartbeat bill's sponsor, told the Dayton Daily News that the comparison between Viagra and abortions isn't valid.
Turner is one of several female Democratic state lawmakers who are wielding the power of sarcasm to protest a wave of anti-abortion legislation.
In January, Virginia state Sen. Janet Howell introduced an amendment to the state's controversial ultrasound bill, which required women seeking abortions to first undergo a vaginal ultrasound. The amendment, which failed, said that all men seeking Viagra would have to first get a rectal exam. The ultrasound bill passed after Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell successfully requested that the vaginal ultrasound requirement be removed. Women seeking abortions will still have to receive an external ultrasound under the new bill.
Earlier this month, Illinois state Rep. Kelly Cassidy introduced an amendment to another bill that would require women to get ultrasounds before being allowed to get abortions. The amendment mandated that men seeking Viagra watch a graphic video about the drug's potential side effects. "If they are serious about us not being able to make our own health care decisions, then I'm just as serious about them not being able to make theirs," she said.
Missouri state Rep. Stacey Newman, a Democrat, introduced legislation that would allow men to get vasectomies only if their life depended upon the procedure, which was similar to Georgia state Rep. Yasmin Neal's bill. "In determining whether a vasectomy is necessary, no regard shall be made to the desire of a man to father children, his economic situation, his age, the number of children he is currently responsible for, or any danger to his wife or partner in the event a child is conceived," the tongue-in-cheek Missouri bill reads.
According to the abortion rights group the Guttmacher Institute, a record-breaking 92 new abortion-restricting laws were passed in 2011. Two of those laws mandated that women have ultrasounds and look at the images before being allowed to get an abortion.

     I couldn't care less what the libbies do or say in this situation..
   I did hear one person on TV say that "health care" is for the human body when it is not performing as it is meant to. When a body is pregnant..it is already proving that it is working OK.  Would we provide a surgery on a perfectly functioning heart, liver or lungs ?  Would we give high blood pressure drugs to a person whose BP is perfectly fine ?   Let's replace hip joints on healthy 20 year olds..             
    Furnishing pills to STOP a body from functioning correctly, is not health care... It is US paying for pills to aid in often immoral sex..
 
 
  Personally, if the Dems would quit fixating on sex and refuse to fund both birth control and viagara..it would save most all of us money..

IRONGLOW. Good post Sir. POWDERMAN.

Every year when I go to Florida, I am living in Liberal Land.  My old High School buddy can't get more liberal.  But he respects my conservative views, and don't try and change me.  His wife is more conservative than I am, that's a match.  Anyway, I met an old friend of hers last December.  Widow woman, my age and a conservative, rare for that area.  She asked me to escort her to a big singles dinner party in Orlando the following week, held at a big hotel.  At the dinner most of the men were poping Viagra, either openly at dinner, at the bar, or in the men's room before dinner.  Or they were talking about having taken Viagra before arriving at the hotel.  I told my lady friend, she laughed, saying "Old Liberal Men, Hoping To Get Lucky".  She met a couple of interesting men and exchanged numbers, then we left.  I dropped her off at her daughters home in Plant City.  I then went on to my place in Tampa.  A week later I drove her back to Ft Lauderdale, we laughed at all those old men taking Viagra.

HEH, and I bet they paid for it themselves. POWDERMAN. 

[nomosendero]

Heatherns do the craziest things! 

[Swampman]

I don't think insurance should be paying for Viagra.

[magooch]

Those liberal progressive Dumycrat women are the reason words like nasty and vindictive were invented.   

[Swift One]

I am also in the in the belief that Birth control and sexual enhancement pills should not be insurance paid.  I am also in belief (alot more that I used to) that abortion should not be paid by insurance.  With one exception- a woman that was bonified raped and had gotten pregnant from the incident.  At this time I am not against abortion- but I have become more on the side of the fence that it should not be paid by insurance because you were just too lazy to practice BC methods. 

[powderman]

SWIFT ONE. No reason to murder a child because of rape. Thats simply punishing the baby by taking it's life because of the crime committed by a low life. Adoption, or raise it, no reason to kill it. POWDERMAN. 

[Swampman]

A fetus is not a child.  It's just a group of cells.

swampy. It's attitudes and falsehoods like that are responsible for killing over 5 MILLION LIVES. Give it a rest and quit misleading folks. POWDERMAN. 

[Swift One]

Not going to get all into this with you on what's right or wrong with abortion.  Thats getting away from the topic.  I do however think that BC and abortion should be paid out of pocket- not by insurance.
