Democratic State Rep. Mary Lou Marzian of Louisville has proposed a bill that would require men to have two in-person visits with a doctor before receiving a prescription for erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra.
Men would also be required to swear that they will only use the pills to have sex with their spouse, who must also provide written consent.
Marzian acknowledges that the bill is a tongue-in-cheek response to anti-abortion legislation put forward by conservative lawmakers, but she’s drawn national attention for the move.
Our Capitol reporter Ryland Barton sat down with Marzian for this interview.
