snip--"MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - An Alabama lawmaker has proposed a bill that would require a man to undergo a vasectomy at age 50 or after he has fathered a specific number of children.
HB 238, filed by Rep. Rolanda Hollis, D-Birmingham, would require a man to undergo a vasectomy after the birth of his third biological child or within one month of his 50th birthday. The bill also says the procedure would be done at the mans own expense.
Under existing law, there are no restrictions on the reproductive rights of men, according to the text of the bill.
Hollis said many opponents have seen her bill as an outrageous overstep, but she counters year after year the majority party continues to introduce new legislation that tries to dictate a womans body and her reproductive rights." Hollis calls her bill a means to neutralize last years abortion ban bill, and to send a message that men should not be legislating what women do with their bodies.

Seems fair, but maybe 35, not 50.

Ted sure isn't seeing the parallels.
The twitter replies are pointed.
