Apparently vibrators kill more people than guns ? at least in Sandy Springs, Ga. You can carry a gun without a prescription, or even a criminal check. But in order to purchase a sex toy, a woman needs her doctor?s permission. No kidding!
Under a local ordinance, any woman seeking a marital aide has to go to the trouble of making an appointment with her physician, paying for the visit and providing the doc with a valid medical reason for needing a sex toy. Then if the physician deems her medically wanting and feels like giving her a prescription, she can go to the toy store.
Sandy Springs? local politicians, such as former chair of the Georgia Republican Party member of the Republican National Committee Rusty Paul, fresh from campaigning on ?small government? promises, put on their puritanical boots and stomped all over women?s rights by banning the sale of sex toys without a, ?medical, scientific, educational, legislative or law enforcement,? purpose. One wonders what a valid ?legislative? purpose is ? pleasure devices at City Council meetings, perhaps? And whatever is a valid ?law enforcement? purpose?
Melissa Davenport, a Sandy Springs resident suffering from multiple sclerosis, says that these items permit her and her husband to still be intimate and credits sex devices with saving her marriage. But her doctor refuses to give her a prescription.
So Davenport filed a lawsuit this week seeking to overturn the city ordinance. She feels that local government has no business in the bedroom.
