Rep. Mary Lou Marzian, a Louisville Democrat, has introduced a bill that would force men who want to use erectile dysfunction drugs to jump through a series of humiliating hoops beforehand, such as visiting a doctor twice and getting notes from their wives.

"I want to protect these men from themselves," Marzian, who is a nurse, told the Courier-Journal.

When it comes to access to abortion, virtually 100% of American conservatives mistake themselves for God. Ah, well. No one ever accused humans of lacking internal contradiction.

You know who mistakes themselves for God? Women who kill.

I got my eye on you, n00b.

She using the "reductio ad absurdum" mode of argumentation to make a point about autonomous adulthood and access to abortion, obviously. Many many Republicans, to the point of being a concrete shibboleth, DO feel that women are too stupid, or immoral, or greedy and selfish to make that decision without lawmakers looking over their shoulders. What's different about this?

Are we sure we want a pro-abort on the forum?

God made Himself pretty clear on the subject.

LOL! Is in no amazing just how far leftist will go to diminish personal freedom? They do it without a thought to liberty. The idea of freedom and it’s preservation is completely submerged in their self righteous priggishness and complete lack of kindness to all.

Maybe she is more like a mushroom and her process of reproduction means she needs to stand down wind, and so there is not respect for the zygot , only for mitosis?
