I've been saying this for years, now this woman is writing legislation about it. She's my new hero. Thanks for the article, c-man!

I’m fed up over all this concern, consideration and conversation over the feeble and fragile minds of women who are unable to make decisions on their own,” Turner said. “I thought it was time to show our men some love and some regulation. It was time to level the playing field for all.”
Turner said she started working on SB 307 about three weeks ago, and made sure the language mimicked the abortion legislation.
Turner’s bill would require doctors to get a second opinion from a psychological professional to verify that a patient has a medical reason for the medication.
It also would require doctors to inform patients in writing of the risks involved in taking the drugs; require that records about prescriptions for erectile dysfunction be retained in a patient’s file for at least seven years; and require men to sign a document acknowledging the risks of taking the medication, just like the anti-abortion bill does, she said.
Turner said she has received hundreds of supportive of her cause since she introduced the bill on Tuesday. She said she expected her bill to pass, just like the Heartbeat Bill did in the Ohio House in June.
“By implementing more intensive screenings before prescribing the medication and requiring outpatient educational services, we can do more to prevent the potential side effects linked to PDE-5 inhibitors,” Turner said in a press release announcing the bill. “We must advocate for the traditional family, protect the sanctity of procreation and ensure that all men using PDE-5 inhibitors are healthy, stable, and educated about their options -- including celibacy as a viable life choice. This legislation will do just that.”

Bwaaahahahaaaaaaa! Brilliant lady! Let's watch this go over like a lead balloon. I said recently that if men were subject to sneaky cancer like Ovarian cancer they would move heaven and earth to find better ways to detect and treat it. We ain't come that far, baby.
So yes, make the men jump through all sorts of hoops to get their Boner Pill. Really, think of their health. We must watch out for them.
