(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 what I meant...she's gotta be representing Austin.
In the article picture, “Jessica” looks like a man, baby.
No one is punishing women for masturbating. We hope to make it harder to kill a child.
To be equivalent, we’d want to fine men $100 for making abortion appointments for their babies. I’d vote for that.
There are no anti masturbation laws on the books or in the works. Killing a kid and masturbating are not equivalent activities.
I figured that this was already true. I've never gotten an appointment that was closer than two months ... and you need more than 24-hours for prep anyway ...
Dump her off in ISIS territory.
As a physician, what do you think about the fact that the ACA mandates a laundry list of preventative tests for women but nothing specifically for men? They don’t even call out a prostate exam or PSA test. Is there really nothing to be done for us, even in light of the totally ignored life span gap?
The phrase "women's health" has translated to "Kill the baby" for over forty years.
Half-a-one, anyway. They'd correlate with an egg, not a fetus.
Not to mention palm razors.
Know your Texas Slut Rep Farrar (married name: Sanchez)r:
“In 1994, Farrar at the age of twenty-seven was elected to the Texas House of Representatives. She has since represented the Houston-based District 148.
In the general election held on November 6, 2018, Farrar won her eighteenth consecutive term in the state House. With 32,147 votes (67.9 percent), she defeated the Republican candidate, Ryan Taylor McConnico (born July 15, 1989), who received 15,213 (32.1 percent).”
Comparing Women’s Health to Abortion is like _____________.
Never learned how.
Never had to.
My impression is that getting your polyps trimmed is nipping cancer in the bud. I can submit to some unpleasantness every few years for that. But some of these guys seem to think that if the doctor sticks his finger in your butt you instantly turn gay. I don’t get that.
It’s only gay if your doc is a man. ;-) Mine is cute, female and 30.
Normally, you have to pay extra for that stuff ...
... or so I've been told.

Women’s health and abortions are two diametrically opposed subjects.
How many convictions before it becomes a felony?
Que loca chin****-those two acts are not comparable-masturbation is just taking matters into one’s own hands-abortion is outright murder...
So she wants to fine men for “buffing the bishop”?
What a jerk-off she must be.
(Try the veal. Here till Tuesday! Badoom!)
The concept of the “Texas Tug Tax” is a funny one.
