Satirical bill in Texas adopts antiabortion jargon
On Friday, state Rep. Jessica Farrar, D-Houston, filed Texas House bill 4260, titled “Man’s Right to Know Act,” which would require men to wait 24 hours after an “initial health care consultation” to receive an elective vasectomy, colonoscopy or Viagra prescription.
The “rules and procedures for the creation of and distribution” of the materials will “exactly follow the rules and procedures of the informational booklet entitled ‘A Woman’s Right to Know,’” the bill stated, referring to the booklet doctors are legally required to give women seeking an abortion, in accordance with a 2003 informed consent law.
“But research overwhelmingly shows that abortion is not associated with a woman’s risk of getting breast cancer,” the blog post said.
[...] the citations in this booklet point to research from a disputed methodology to find such an association, or cite studies that explicitly say there is no association between abortion and protection against breast cancer.
[...] Farrar’s bill would ban “unregulated masturbatory emissions.”
“Emissions outside of a woman’s vagina, or created outside of a health or medical facility, will be charged a $100 civil penalty for each emission, and will be considered an act against an unborn child,” the bill reads.
