Texas Lawmaker’s ‘Satirical’ Bill Fines Men for Masturbating

Jontro faints.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

That's the thinking behind new legislation proposed by a Texas lawmaker that would fine men $100 for masturbating and require a 24-hour cooling off period before they can buy Viagra.

Rep. Jessica Farrar, D-Houston, speaks during a news conference, April 2, 2009, in Austin, Texas. Harry Cabluck / AP
State Rep. Jessica Farrar is under no illusion that HB 4260, which she freely admits "satirically mirrors real Texas laws," will make it through the Republican and male-dominated Legislature.

"HB 4260 was written to highlight the glaring inequalities in how medical and reproductive health care legislation is handled for men and women," the Houston Democrat wrote. It "mimics how legislators, with no formal knowledge of medical norms or practices, attempt to govern women's health in the Texas Legislature."

So, under Farrar's proposal, which was introduced on Friday, if a woman has to wait 24 hours before she can have an abortion, a man would have to wait 24 hours to get his erectile dysfunction drug or have a vasectomy.

And if a woman has to undergo a vaginal ultrasound before having an abortion, men should also be required to undergo an equally unnecessary rectal exam before they can have a vasectomy or colonoscopy.

EDIT: Whoops looks like zeeshan2 posted this in the BBS p*rn thread already. I guess I'll leave this here for the politicians of the D&D to discuss as well.

Getting a rectal exam before your colonoscopy sounds redundant to me.

Some interesting stats about abortion:
- An overwhelming percentage of abortion patients have low income
- Low income people are actually much less likely to abort their pregnancies, but they have unprotected sex at a much higher rate & not exactly surprising they get knocked up at a much higher rate.
- Abstinence based programs & education are incredibly ineffective.

The anti-abortion crowd typically are against increased contraceptive access & sex education. Do they magically think people will stop having sex? Or is their desired end goal a dramatic increase in the # of kids born into low income households?
