A Democratic lawmaker in Georgia has proposed banning vasectomies and requiring men to get permission from their sex partners before obtaining Viagra prescriptions in response to a restrictive new abo
rtion bill approved by the state’s House of Representatives last week.“You want some regulation of bodies and choice? Done!” Kendrick, who represents metro Atlanta’s 93rd District, tweeted Monday morning.
In addition to the vasectomy and Viagra measures, the legislative package would make it an “aggravated assault” for a man to have sex without a condom. It would also dictate paternity testing before eight weeks of pregnancy and require expectant fathers to immediately begin paying child support. Last on Kendrick’s list is a proposed 24-hour waiting period for any man who wishes to purchase pornography or sex toys in Georgia.
The bill moves now to the state Senate, which, like the House, has a Republican majority. If it passes the Senate, it will go to Gov. Brian Kemp , who has said he supports the bill.
