Indiana lawmaker tries to ban erectile dysfunction drugs during abortion debate: 'It’s unfair'
Fox News
Indiana lawmaker John Bartlett proposed an amendment last week to ban the sale of drugs for erectile dysfunction during a debate over abortion.
"Some may think this is a joke, but it takes two for a pregnancy to come about, and to put all the onus onto a woman, I just think it's unfair," Bartlett told fellow lawmakers in the Indiana House of Representatives last week. "We're forcing young girls to be mothers but not forcing the men to be fathers. If in fact pregnancy is an act of god, then impotency must be an act of god. I think the onus should be put on men for these pregnancies."
The amendment failed to pass a simple voice vote and was one of more than 80 proposed during the debate between lawmakers.
