'Note required from wife' to buy Viagra

Fed up with laws restricting a woman’s right to choose, Rep. Mary Lou Marzian, D-Louisville has proposed new restrictions on men wanting to obtain erectile dysfunction drug Viagra.

Her bill specifically would require:

A man to have two (2) office visits on two (2) different calendar days before the health care practitioner prescribes a drug for erectile dysfunction to him;
A drug to only be prescribed for erectile dysfunction to a man who is currently married;
A man to produce a signed and dated letter from the man’s current spouse providing consent for a prescription for erectile dysfunction;
A man to make a sworn statement with his hand on a Bible that he will only use a prescription for a drug for erectile dysfunction when having sexual relations with his current spouse.

IMO, things started going backwards when religion started making a big comeback in the 80s. "Man (or woman) will never truly be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest"

It would certainly be a hoot if it was taken seriously and actually passed. LOL!
