Adventures in Missing the Point, Part II

On Tuesday, Ohio state Sen. Nina Turner (D-Cleveland) will introduce a bill aimed at cracking down on prescription drugs like Viagra that treat erectile dysfunction. Turner’s legislation would make men jump through certain hoops — such as psychological screenings — before they could obtain the meds. The bill follows FDA recommendations to determine the underlying causes of erectile dysfunction — but that’s certainly not the only reason Turner is putting the measure forward.

According to Turner:

“All across the country, including in Ohio, I thought since men are certainly paying great attention to women’s health that we should definitely return the favor,” Turner told TPM. Her bill is one of several pieces of legislation offered over the past several weeks by women lawmakers eager to prove a point about the raging contraception debate.

No, Ms. Turner, men aren’t ‘paying great attention to women’s health.’  Men and women, are paying attention to the Administration’s attempts to violate our 1st Amendment rights.

Yet again, some are intent on obfuscating the real issue.  The issue isn’t ‘women’s health.’  The issue is religious liberty.
