"I want to protect these men from themselves," said Marzian, a nurse.
HB 396 also specifies that only married men may obtain the drug and requires "a man to make a sworn statement with his hand on a Bible that he will only use a prescription for a drug for erectile dysfunction when having sexual relations with his current spouse."
"This is about family values," Marzian said.

Pass this law!

(50,614 posts)Pfizer is currently spending a shitload of money promoting Viagra Single Packs - perfect for "business trips" to exotic tropical resorts.
It should be obvious to one and all that if we're going to have a law like this, it gets juiced up a little bit:
1. Viagra Single Pack is the only authorized form of Viagra in Kentucky.
2. Your wife must deposit a signature card with the pharmacist prior to you receiving your first dose.
3. Only one may be dispensed at a time.
4. To get another one, you must turn in the used packet.
5. On the back of the used packet, your wife must write in her own hand, "I opened this packet myself" and sign it. When the signature is confirmed to be your wife's, you can get your prescription filled.
Why do I get the feeling that if a law like this were to pass, urologists' parking lots in the seven states surrounding Kentucky would be filled with out-of-state plates?

(10,307 posts)e.g. got to be married to a woman (this part is important), have your spouse's consent, have a waiting period, and if one has a 'nocturnal emission' then the whole thing off.
Write into the law that repeal will require a legislature of at least 40% women, and 2/3rds of the women have to vote to repeal. Probably unconstitutional but when did that stop some laws getting passed?
After all, every woman has the right to have children, so why should her spouse deny her that right? Spouse's going out and getting vasectomies just won't do.

Because Jesus was very clear that marriage after a divorce is illegitimate.
