(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.

LOL! I don’t do that sort of thing, but I can understand your concern.
Many cancers are completely curable if caught early enough.
By the way, I asked a nurse, who assists with colonoscopies on both men and women, who was more squeamish about that procedure and also about body fluids, associated discharges both liquid and gaseous, more bashful, etc. Immediately, she said: "MEN!" When I told my wife about this, she said: "Think about it. Women are dealing with such matters all their lives. They're used to it."
Masturbation is “an act against an unborn child”?
Maybe if she said it’s an act against an uncreated child, that would make more sense. Sort of.
It’s just like McCain, he was nothing but a demonrat that ran as a Republican, because AZ don’t elect demonrats.
Can’t wait for Islam to take over. Straighten this nonsense straight away.
straighten out. Sorry!
Wow, it’s spreading. Just like herpes from Georgia.

I’ve had enough. I want to die of cancer.
The doctors and the hospitals just drain you of your savings, misdiagnose, and then ruin your credit rating by sending you false bills.
F that! My life insurance is worth more than I am.
feats of stupid never I would never have thought possible
“Farrar’s bill would penalize men for masturbation because such behavior is... “an act against an unborn child.””
Wait! So now they admit abortion is murder?
I wish they’d let the bill come up for a floor vote to embarrass this *itch and show men what the far-left thinks of them.
Also, who knew that killing your unborn child in the womb was the equivalent of choking the chicken?
