Showing Original Post only (View all)Kentucky rep proposes bill only allowing married men—with wife's permission—to get Viagra [View all]
?1455557028
Kentucky Rep. Mary Lou Marzian might be my new favorite elected official. Marzian wants to make sure all of these boys who enjoy interfering with girls health rights dont miss out on the fun themselves! She has introduced a bill, HB 396, which would require at least two doctors visits and a permission slip from ones wife, before a man could acquire erectile disfunction-type drugs."I want to protect these men from themselves," said Marzian, a nurse.
HB 396 also specifies that only married men may obtain the drug and requires "a man to make a sworn statement with his hand on a Bible that he will only use a prescription for a drug for erectile dysfunction when having sexual relations with his current spouse."
"This is about family values," Marzian said.
