How this bill has made it this far is beyond me.  It's even got Hillary Clinton's approval.  Rep. Jessica Farrar (D) thinks she's being funny and making a pro-choice point.  Little does she know, it's a Catholic point of natural law that needs to be made.

Texas Bill Prohibiting Male Masturbation Moves Closer To Becoming Law
APRIL 8, 2017 BY MICHAEL STONE
     
A proposed bill in Texas that would impose a fine for male masturbation is making its way through the state's legislature.

House Bill 4260, called the "Man's Right to Know Act," would punish male masturbation with a $100 fine, and require men who want Viagra to be subject to a rectal exam.

The bill, filed earlier this year by Texas legislator Rep. Jessica Farrar (D), was referred to the House State Affairs Committee on Tuesday.

By focusing on male masturbation, the proposed legislation is an obvious attempt to satirize and draw attention to the unreasonable and dangerous policy proposals concerning women's reproductive freedom coming from the Republican Party.

Commenting on her bill, Rep. Farrar told mysanantonio.com:

A lot of people find the bill funny. What's not funny are the obstacles that Texas women face every day, that were placed there by legislatures making it very difficult for them to access healthcare.

Farrar is a vocal abortion rights activist, with a long record of opposing legislation in Texas hostile to women's reproductive freedom.

The Statesman reports the details of the new legislation prohibiting unregulated male masturbation:

The bill calls "masturbatory emissions" an "act against an unborn child, and failing to preserve the sanctity of life."

The bill also contains provisions that would also put restrictions on vasectomies, Viagra prescriptions and colonoscopies, including:

The state must create an informational booklet called "A Man's Right to Know" that contains information and illustrations on the benefits of and concerns about those three treatments. A man must review the booklet before going through with any of them.


A man must receive a rectal exam and an MRI of his rectum before any of the three treatments.
A man would not be able sue a doctor for refusing to provide those treatments or another procedure if the procedure violates the doctor's "personal, moralistic, or religious beliefs."

A doctor must obtain consent from the man before providing the treatment, and the man may give it only if he waits at least 24 hours after the doctor's visit.

The state must establish a registry of nonprofit organizations and hospitals that provide abstinence counseling, a supervising physician for "masturbatory emissions," and semen storage.

"Masturbatory emissions" must be stored for the wife for conception.

The Statesman also notes that current state law "requires that doctors distribute to women considering an abortion the 'A Woman's Right to Know' booklet, which contains illustrations of gestational periods and the risks and side effects of abortions. Women also must wait 24 hours after receiving the booklet and must undergo an ultrasound before the procedure. Abortion of a viable fetus can bring a penalty of at least five years in prison."

Earlier this week former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton praised Farrar for promoting the proposed new legislation.  After praising Farrar while speaking at an Annie's List luncheon in Houston on Friday, Clinton opined:

I don't know. The bill may be satirical but the message sure resonated.

Bottom line: Turnabout is fair play. By focusing on male masturbation House Bill 4260 demonstrates the absurdity and cruelty of the constant and ongoing effort by Republicans to demean and stigmatize women in their pursuit of reproductive health care.

The world is going insane...
In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael's Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:

    "My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you're supposed to do it, The best way you can do it,   For the Love of God. Amen"

I think Rep. Farrar is just blowing her own horn.

umm.... what does this "rectal exam" consist of (i'm sure i would be sorry for asking)

or an MRI of your rectum...what the what?

generally speaking I trust my doctors to order imaging and tests that are truly necessary and to spare me tests and imaging that is not necessary.  ED is humiliating enough for men without having people stick things up your butt if it's not medically necessary.  To say nothing of how that is for male sexual assault survivors

What does a rectal exam have to do with ED?

An ultrasound of a uterus is directly related to childbirth and so has a direct connection to women seeking abortions.

Eggs on their own are not human life and no one is restricting women from having periods.

She was trying to be clever, and that's the key, trying to be.
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
    It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
    It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
    And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
    And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
    There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
    Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
    World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

well..... a lot of guys do have ED as a result from prostate cancer or other diseases of the prostate,  In that case, they would have already been subject to rectal exam after rectal exam.  If the ED is caused by other known problems that have nothing to do with the prostate and he's not showing any symptoms that would warrant a prostate exam, than a rectal exam would just be unnecessary medical procedure. 

also....why just "viagra" would men with ED not have to go through all these hoops if they wanted other ED drugs or injectables like TriMix, QuadMix etc

i guess it's supposed to be a dumb comparison to expecting women who want early abortions to have transvaginal ultrasounds before an abortion is done which pro choicers compare to "rape."   Either way my reaction is....how about just ban abortions and no one gets hurt?  but the republicans are too busy restricting abortions and they expect us to be satisfied with that because it's "better than nothing."
