[Kentucky State Rep. Mary Lou Marzian](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/viagra-kentucky-bill_us_56be421fe4b0c3c55051619d?ir=Weird+News&section=us_weird-news&utm_hp_ref=weird-news) introduced a bill mocking all the restrictive bills aimed at women’s reproductive rights.

> A female Kentucky state legislator has introduced a bill that would require men who want to use erectile dysfunction drugs like Cialis, Viagra or Levitra to get a note from their wife first. Then they’d have to make two visits to a doctor and promise to only take the pills before sex with a spouse.  
> Kentucky Rep. Mary Lou Marzian (D) introduced the bill on Thursday as a way to protect men’s health and ensure they are informed about a drug with potentially dangerous side effects, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.  
> “I want to protect these men from themselves,” said Marzian, a retired nurse.
