Nina Turner for Congress, Ohio-11


As a political statement against legislation attempting to restrict women's access to contraception and abortion,[8] in March 2012, Turner introduced a bill [in the Ohio state Senate] to regulate men's reproductive health. Before getting a prescription for erectile dysfunction drugs, a man would have to get a notarized affidavit signed by a recent sexual partner affirming his impotency, consult with a sex therapist and receive a cardiac stress test. She said the proposed statute would be parallel to recent legislation written by male legislators restricting women's reproductive health and that she was equally concerned about men's reproductive health.[9] The proposed legislation was not meant to be passed, but as a way of bringing attention to similar bills targeted towards women.[8]
