38. How about a law to make condoms a prescription item--treated same as birth control?

only available if you visit your doctor, get counseling and go through an "abstinence only" course? And get instructions on the dangers of premarital sex, STDs, etc? Also a full checkup to make sure heart and blood pressure are healthy--can't have those men dying during climax afetr all.

The price of condoms should be made the same as birth control pills, to avoid discriminating against women, and it shall not be covered by insurance unless women's birth control methods are also covered.

Call this the Birth Control Equality Bill and make it the law of the land.
