men's sexual health bills

[JuliefromOhio]

legislated by women, of course.

in Ohio:

psychological screenings — to determine the underlying causes of erectile dysfunction.
it would require physicians to inform patients in writing of the risks involved in taking erectile dysfunction drugs, and also the alternatives such as natural remedies or also celibacy.

in Virginia:

bill would require men get a rectal exam and cardiac stress tests before obtaining a prescription for erectile dysfunction medication.

in Georgia:

would only allow vasectomies for men who would die or suffer serious health consequences without one. “Thousands of children are deprived of birth in this state every year because of the lack of state regulation over vasectomies.”

in Missouri:

“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.

Can Stan resist? YOU doing a Top Post with the word "sex" in it???

 

[JuliefromOhio]

I love the one where celibacy would be encouraged as an option to Viagra.

and discouraging vasectomies.....because thousands of children are deprived of birth.

LOL

 

[Bo-4]

LOL... this is fricking excellent. My hats off to these women!

 

[PhilFish]

lol.

so they are..children. ?

 

[GordonGecko]

Governor SpongeBob ProbePants here.....along with Rush and Pope Ricky....if the economy is doing better by this fall?

the GOP have just ceded the independent vote, and not just women.

 

[JuliefromOhio]

all's fair in love and war (on women), Phil.

Phil is just mad....because he has nothing to say against it. Which isn't that unusual for him, ya know?

 

[PhilFish]

so, you don't disagree.

(ps... you're waging a war on women?)

 

[PhilFish]

how do you mean GG? against what stupid legislation..on both sides of this issue?

PS....where she's legislating...say consent before taking a ED pill.. you find there to be cause for issue with that? further, what does it have to do with legislating the coverage of contraception in those instances where there is no medical condition? (i.e simply to get it paid for.....for the recreation.....which is by and large the preponderance...)

gotta fly... happy to catch up on it later..

 

[JuliefromOhio]

the ladies want a quid pro quo. they can go after the men with a rectal probe since your republican party was determined to stick it to women with a vaginal probe.

say adios to a bulk of the women's vote, repubs.

 

[connieb]

I am so glad the legislators in these states have nothing better to do than to spend their time writing and introducing legislation completely designed to be ridiculous for the sake of what???? turn about is fair play? revenge? What is good for the goose is good for the gander? Funny, I would have thought there would have been more pressing matters in all those states....

(And, before anyone comments on it - I think the mandatory vaginal ultrasound bill in VA was a ridiculous waste of time too)

 

[JuliefromOhio]

mockery is an excellent weapon.....to "fight" the abject stupidity of today's republican party.

I loved the......no vasectomies for men because it would deprive the births of thousands of babies. LOL

Any chance the GOP Vagina Police will expand their jurisdiction to cover penises?

 

[connieb]

Yes, very wise and mature way to spend time..... mocking people.

 

[JuliefromOhio]

Any chance the GOP Vagina Police will expand their jurisdiction to cover penises?

absolutely not....they're one-sex wonders.

 

[Old Ridge Runner]

Stop and think about it, they are getting paid for what all of us are sitting around here and doing for free. How dumb is that.

 

[Corruptbuddha]

I have a better plan.

1: Free contraception to all. (After all, we certainly don't want freeloaders breeding, do we?)

2: Abortion on demand. (And if they do breed, we certainly don't want them raising children, do we?)

See there, all solved.

 

[PhilFish]

so...now these things are ok by you...too. cool

say....lemme ask...when an individual....let's take..a man...any man...is faced with the issue of ED....do you think it prudent (cause medicine says its prudent) to assess the prostate...for say...cancerous growth.....in the event it (the cancer) is the cause of said ED. (say, impinging on a nerve....)

would be wise...huh? well...anyhoo...a probe....an ultrasound probe...would bear that out. MEthinks some here would know what that is all about, or know someone who does...

all funny ha ha, I guess....now that you got someone latched on to it for kicks......

ps. still havent answered what that has to do with the preponderance of individuals...who want it (contraception ) paid....for non medical reasons.....

thanks for stoppin

My doctor gives me a prostate exam once a year wherther I want it or not, but I make her take me to dinner first. I don't want her to think that I am easy.
