INDIANAPOLIS - As Indiana lawmakers debated before becoming the first state to pass a near total abortion ban since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.
Wade, one lawmaker proposed an amendment to outlaw the sale of drugs for erectile dysfunction and sexual impotence."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," Indiana Rep.
John Bartlett, D-Indianapolis, told his fellow legislators. "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."The amendment, which did not pass, was one of more than 80 presented by lawmakers during the hours-long debate.
