A US politician has proposed a law that would require men to get permission from their wives before they could be prescribed Viagra from their doctor as a pointed statement to anti-abortion lawmakers.

The legislation*would require men in the*state of Kentucky to visit a doctor twice before they could be prescribed any drug for erectile dysfunction. They would also have*to be married and to get a signed and dated letter of consent from their*spouse.
The bill, drawn up by a female Democrat member of the House of Representatives, Mary Lou Marzian, also calls for the man to “make a sworn statement with his hand on the bible that he will only use a prescription for a drug for erectile dysfunction when having sexual relations with his current spouse.”

Reading that I can't see any problem with compulsory counselling prior to an abortion I'd say after would be good too, anything spares a woman from regretting a decision has to be good. Watching your baby not so good in some cases, if you are having an abortion for medical reasons the guilt could put you in danger or mean a child is born that will suffer greatly.

Why was this thread resurrected after so long?!!
