money was invented for handing to women, but buying dances is a chump's game

But wait, before going to war, know that this proposed legislation is not serious. It's just to prove a point, about how harmful abortion access restrictions are. But I think she's got people where it really hurts! ( JS69 )



SC Lawmaker Floats "Invasive" Viagra Bill to Protest Abortion Curbs

A South Carolina state lawmaker has pre-filed a bill restricting access to Viagra and other erectile dysfunction medications for men in order to make a point about increasing restrictions on women’s reproductive rights. The bill requires men seeking Viagra to undergo a 24-hour waiting period, submit a notarized affidavit from a sexual partner, be examined by a state-licensed sexual therapist and attend outpatient counseling sessions. South Carolina State Representative Mia McLeod said she made the bill as complex as possible—in order to prove a point about restrictions on abortion.

Rep. Mia McLeod: "I purposely tried to make it as invasive, as intrusive, as hypocritical and unnecessary as possible, to make the point."

Similar attempts to restrict Viagra access in Ohio and other states have so far been unsuccessful.
