That’s why the the Houston Democrat on Friday filed House Bill 4260, which would fine men $100 for masturbating and create a required booklet for men with medical information related to the benefits and concerns of a man seeking a vasectomy, a Viagra prescription or a colonoscopy. The bill would also let doctors invoke their "personal, moralistic, or religious beliefs" in refusing to perform an elective vasectomy or prescribe Viagra, among other proposed requirements in the bill.

Just play it off as a serious bill by a southern yahoo to clueless leftist relatives, acquaintances and coworkers, and watch them go ballistic in opposition.
How about an abortion waiting period, abortion safety quiz (and card), and permanent, auditable safety records that are the property of a government agency..?
And no “junk” abortions, which means they all have to cost a fortune.
And no concealed abortions.
You would think that hairy palms and poor eyesight would be punishment enough already!...............
How about periodic newspaper publication of the names and addresses of women who receive concealed abortions..?
I don’t know if Texas has a debt problem but if so, they just solved it.
which would fine men $100 for masturbating

Can you pay ahead? Discount for volume?
And how does that compare to a Viagra pill cost?
Silly, petty, myopic and immature.
Absolutely hilarious! You win the internet.
Sadly, providing due process will kill any surplus.
Maybe the bill could specify it as a tax, not a fine, the way Roberts said the Obamacare penalty was a tax?
That way they could make taxpayers install their own Wi-Fi toidy cams at their own expense?
Ooooh.. Nice Pic.
Hey, Eggman, Can you spot me a Benji? I’m a bit short until Friday.
The law is meant as farce, but it misses the point because democrats always miss the point. I would never attempt to force someone to perform surgery on my body against their will. (1) Being compelled to act against your beliefs is slavery, and I'm not a democrat, so I consider slavery immoral. (2) Out of self-interest, I don't want someone cutting me open if they resent being forced to do so. Whether the morally problematic procedure is vasectomy or abortion, participation is an individual decision that only the doctor/nurse can make for themselves.
As for pretending that Viagra is a political issue, that's equally absurd. Innocent babies don't die from Viagra, just the reverse - sometimes they are born because of it. Also, Viagra is not a medical necessity; I would not be offended at an insurance plan that didn't cover that recreational medication. Car insurance doesn't provide loaner cars when we're on vacation, and I see no reason for medical insurance to cover even the most enjoyable of hobbies.
That picture alone should be enough to solve the rampant male masturbation problem. No need for her bill!
This may be the most two-faced legislation I’ve ever seen.
Can’t beat it.
Is it a fine or a tax? Justice Roberts, are you lurking, I can see this insanity going all the way to the Supremes given what made it their via Texas already...
Democrats are obsessed with genitalia.
The real goal is to keep teenage boys off the road. They won’t be able to afford cars and gas.
