Sign the petition supporting sexual regulation equality:
Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner (D) isn't happy with bills that seek to control women's access to contraception and abortion. She has joined a trend across the nation by introducing a bill (https://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=129_SB_307) that would require (https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/dayton-news/bill-introduced-to-regulate-mens-reproductive-health-1341547.html) men seeking a prescription for erectile dysfunction drugs to see a sex therapist, receive a cardiac stress test and "get a notarized affidavit signed by a sexual partner affirming impotency." Sex therapists would be required to present the option of "celibacy as a viable lifestyle choice.”
"The men in our lives, including members of the General Assembly, generously devote time to fundamental female reproductive issues—the least we can do is return the favor," Senator Turner said (https://www.progressohio.org/blog/2012/03/senator-turner-introduces-legislation-to-protect-mens-health.html).

Petition says:
”Now that male legislators have decided the states should intrude between women and their physicians on matters of reproductive health, it seems only fair that women legislators should do the same for men.
In Ohio, state Sen. Nina Turner (D) has introduced (https://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/03/12/1073566/-Women-legislators-turn-the-tables-and-introduce-bills-regulating-men-s-reproductive-health?detail=hide&via=blog_1) SB 307, a bill that would require men seeking a prescription for erectile dysfunction drugs to see a sex therapist, receive a cardiac stress test and "get a notarized affidavit signed by a sexual partner affirming impotency."
In Illinois, state Rep. Kelly Cassidy (D) introduced an amendment to HB0786, a bill requiring ultrasounds before a woman can get an abortion, that would require men to watch an explicit video about the side-effects of erectile dysfunction drugs.
Also, Missouri state Rep. Stacey Newman (D) introduced HB 1853, a bill that would allow a man to obtain a vasectomy only when not doing so would protect him from serious injury or death.
Just because these women are joking doesn't mean they aren't serious. These bills highlight the ongoing attacks against women's reproductive rights and privacy.
Sign our petition supporting their efforts. We'll send them the signatures.”
