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.

What was wrong with it? It’s pithy and it’s true.

You couldn't fill a Mini Cooper with men who WANT a colonoscopy. And I mean, real men.

She seems to have a firm grip on the situation. This is definitely an example of grabbing the bull by the horn for sure.

I’ve had a colonoscopy to check for colon cancer. Healthy as a horse.

What’s next, a 24 hour waiting period for a prostate cancer exam?

And what would a woman be fined? I mean, fair is fair. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

If men can be fined for “wasting” their half of an unborn, what about women? Every time they have a period, an egg is unfertilized. Isn’t this getting a little nuts?

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

Waaaaa more mentally ill psycho bitch feminazis.

NOW founder Kate Millett was certifiably crazy and even institutionalized. Her response was to say that there is no such thing as “crazy”.

Also--last I heard--you couldn't just walk into a doctor's office to get one. You actually have to make an appointment, and those are not typically scheduled the same same.

In effect, we already have *at least* 24 hour waiting period for colonoscopies.

I'm going to guess that this insane female isn't getting any nuts, big or little. She may not even be interested in nuts.

Maybe not, but you could fill a LOT of Greyhound buses with men and women who want them...
