“Why not our gonads?”
I’m over 70. I take the bill as a kudos.
Problem is I have no idea what further bills want to cut. Do we cut off hands of murderers, fingers of hackers...this could get ugly. And what do you cut off with people with aids that are still active in the street? That bill is a real slippery slope.
This sounds more like sharia law than Constitutional. But it’s not new. Ohio never had an official sterilization law, this does not seem to be for lack of interest in the state. There were five attempts to bring a sterilization statute to the law books in Ohio from 1915 to 1963. The closest any of the laws got to passage was a 1925 law that passed both houses but was vetoed by Governor Alvin Victor Donahey. Two bills in 1939 didn’t make it out of committee. The 1963 bill, probably one of the last attempts by a state in the US to pass such a measure, died in committee as well. I have no idea what they are thinking.

Tony Randall spawned children at 77. He married his intern who was 25. Many of us - I’m 70 - could probably sneak one past the goal if we got lucky. Ironically, the probability of a female having the plumbing to conceive at 50 is very low.
The bottom line of this bill is that only males less than 50 with fewer than three children need apply. This cuts women off from potential mates who have reached the maturity and wealth one can accumulate by 50. This a good mate market. Not to mention the rich sugar daddy market.
