Democrat Janet Howell of Fairfax County, Virginia, who proposed a bill requiring all men to get rectal exams and cardiac stress tests prior to receiving prescription erectile dysfunction medications.
Johnson’s amendment reads:
“…any action in which a man ejaculates or otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a woman’s vagina shall be interpreted and construed as an action against an unborn child.”By this definition, even condoms and test tube babies would be illegal.
Johnson did propose the bill, however, as an amendment to a real “personhood” bill currently being debated in Oklahoma that sounds remarkably similar to the one just failed in Mississippi.
