A Northern Virginia lawmaker’s tongue-in-cheek protest of an anti-abortion bill attempted to make it more difficult for men to refill their Viagra prescriptions.

Sen. Janet Howell, D-Reston, proposed Monday that the state make it more arduous for doctors to prescribe medication for erectile dysfunction. The amendment, which predictably failed on a 21-19 vote, was tacked onto a bill that requires women to get an ultrasound of the fetus two hours before an abortion.
