Do they really doubt the man's involvement, here? In cutting sex education in schools, they are preventing both sexes from realising precisely what happens when they put Tab A into Slot B. They are preventing both sexes from learning about methods of preventing pregnancy.
Yet, there seems to be a spot of fuss about bringing in similar laws for men to get viagra in the USA. The men seem to take offense at having to go to the doctor every few months to get viagra, but they expect women to in order to get the pill - oh, no, wait! They want to make that more difficult to get! They also seem to protest against getting a signed statement from "at least one" of their lovers to get viagra. That seems to make sense. Get someone to agree that your pecker isn't pecking makes sense. Also, having a heart scan to make sure you can survive such things? That also seems to be a sticking point. I'm pretty sure that if a man doesn't want to show his chest to a doctor, why would he want to show it to his amour? And I'm also pretty sure that a man having a heart scan isn't nearly as embarrassing as it is for a woman. And yes, I've had a few myself.
Also, for all the Americans who keep saying that it's a part of their religion? Might I ask that you check your constitution? It seems to say that yes, you can say and do as your religion pleases - but so can everybody else. Please remember that.
AMENDMENT I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Isn't it just frightening? And I think the rest of the world should be frightened. There is no difference between Christian fanatics and fanatics of any other religion, and if America becomes a nation controlled by religious fanatics, the rest of the world will have to cope with an insane super power.
The problems we've always run into in the US is that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights only applies to what the US federal government can do. The individual states are NOT bound by anything--which is seriously unfortunate. Some states have bill of rights of their own, such as Virginia (I think), but they just passed the ultrasound bill so they have opted to just spit on anything about personal freedoms. The US had it's civil war (and the violence over the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s) because state governments keep believing that they have absolute rights to trample on anything resembling personal freedom for anyone who doesn't agree with their own narrow opinions. Slavery, lynchings, sundowner towns, outlawing interracial marriages, voter harassment laws--there really isn't any part of the national bill of rights that at least one state hasn't trampled all over--except perhaps the 2nd amendment and the right to bear arms. The stupid and fanatical always like guns. Thank heavens there are a few states standing up and making gay marriage legal--it's nice to see the "state's rights" argument do something about GIVING equal rights for once instead of taking them away.
