SC Lawmaker Proposing New Viagra Bill
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP)–A South Carolina lawmaker is proposing that men who want to get Viagra or other drugs to help them have sex wait for 24 hours and get a sworn statement from their sexual partners detailing their problems.
Rep. Mia McLeod says her bill is a tongue-in-cheek response to all of the rules South Carolina’s male-dominated Legislature places on abortion.
It’s unlikely to pass, but the Columbia Democrat says just having a committee hearing on the bill Wednesday will bring attention to the issue.
McLeod’s bill would require a 24-hour waiting period before an erectile dysfunction medicine could be picked up from the pharmacy and require patients to get counseling on celibacy as a valid life choice.
