A Georgia lawmaker is proposing a 'testicular bill of rights' in objection to an abortion bill moving through the state legislature
A Georgia lawmaker is proposing a law that would make it an"aggravated assault" for men to have sex without a condom, and would require men to obtain permission from their sexual partner before seeking a prescription for Viagra or similar erectile dysfunction drugs.
Democratic minority whip Dar'shun Kendrick announced her"testicular bill of rights" in a tweet on Monday, noting she'd instructed an aide to draft a bill.Among her other proposals are requirements for DNA testing at the sixth week of pregnancy to determine paternity, as well as requirements for the father to make immediate child support payments. It would also ban vasectomy procedures in the state.
Currently, women in Georgia can receive abortions up to 20 weeks into a pregnancy.Georgia's bill limiting that time to six weeks passed the same day a similar fetal heartbeat bill cleared Tennessee's house. HB 481's sponsor, Rep. Ed Setzler, called abortion a"barbaric procedure" and said under his proposal, women who become pregnant still have options, including taking a"morning after" pill or carrying a pregnancy to term and putting the baby up for adoption.
