The bill would make men wait 24 hours before buying pornography, and require DNA tests to force fathers to pay child support.
A Georgia Democratic lawmaker has responded to the recent passing of a controversial abortion law in the state House by putting forward a “testicular bill of rights,” which would ban vasectomies and require men to seek permission from their partners before getting a Viagra prescription.
The Testicular Bill of Rights would consider men having sex without a condom as “aggravated assault” and require DNA testing of a fetus when a woman is 6 weeks and 1 day pregnant to determine the father “who shall IMMEDIATELY start paying child support.” Kendrick also suggested putting in place a 24-hour “waiting period” for men to buy porn or sex toys in the state.
The politician was among Democratic lawmakers to protest against HB 481 by bringing wire coat hangers and bleach to the floor of the chamber, to suggest such legislation may push women to seek dangerous at-home and backstreet abortions.
