Texas bill would fine men $100 each time they masturbate

(CNN)A Texas lawmaker has proposed a bill that would fine a man $100 each time he masturbates.

The bill also imposes a 24-hour waiting period if a guy wants a colonoscopy or a vasectomy, or if he's in the market for some Viagra.

Rep. Jessica Farrar, a Democrat, knows her bill isn't going to get very far. But she proposed it last week to make a point and give male lawmakers a taste of their own medicine.

Farrar has long been an advocate of women's health in a state that has made it extremely difficult for women to get abortions. And the bill, by pointing out a sexist double standard, is meant to shine a light on the obstacles women deal with when it comes to their health care.

"Let's look at what Texas has done to women," Farrar told CNN. "What if men had to undergo the same intrusive procedures?"

Even the name is a jab

Farrar's bill would penalize men for masturbation because such behavior is a failure to preserve the sanctity of life and "an act against an unborn child."

Even the bill's name -- "A Man's Right to Know Act" -- is a jab at a pamphlet Texas doctors are required to give women seeking abortions.

That pamphlet, "A Woman's Right to Know," has long been criticized for being inaccurate, ideologically influenced by religion and designed to discourage women from getting abortions.

One section of the pamphlet says breast cancer and abortions are linked. Scientific studies have found no cause-and-effect relationship between the two.

"We have real lives to deal with," said Farrar, who pointed out that Texas has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world.

“That’s one way of financing the wall.”

They’d collect that 5 billion in about a week.

Does the bill define men as biological males? How un-PC of her.

“You couldn’t fill a Mini Cooper with men who WANT a colonoscopy. “

True but the propofol is kind of cool.

Well, you know the old saying:

“Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten.”

I guess they’re thinking of the kittens?

“he = she”

That’s debatable. Just looked at her photo and cannot determine if she’s transitioning from male to female or if she’s simply a fat, ugly woman.

Then again, perhap’s she’s just pissed that every man she knows prefers to masturbate rather than engage in sexual intercourse with her.

Obviously, this insanity must be on the DNC platform for 2020 so it can be added to the rest of their insanity.

Liberalism is a mental disease and they’re all infected.

Yeah seriously, even a basic understanding of logic escapes her. So she thinks spermatozoa are living beings...?

...and fetuses are not!

Each legislative session, Farrar introduces a bill to abolish the death penalty in Texas.

For guilty criminals, tried, convicted and sentenced, who have failed several judicial reviews, and lost interminable appeals over a period of decades.

Innocent unborn children can get the death penalty on a moment's notice, no questions asked.

As a physician, I urge all men and women to get regular colonoscopies from middle age on. This is one truly effective way to prevent cancer. Follow the guidelines.

Good advice, butt I'm not sure I'd want it done by someone whose screen name is Savage Beast!

Women can tell us we men can’t vote on abortion when (90% ) of them can’t vote on when men go to war.
