[Blitzer:] Here's a look at this hour's "Hot Shots." In Turkey, a young boy looks through the fence of a camp for Syrian refugees. In India, railway porters rally for better wages, housing and pension plans. In Beijing, hostesses greet delegates on the last day of a leadership conference preparing for a handover of power in China. And in Australia, check it out, a Rugby player feeds a rhino during the visit to the zoo. "Hot Shots," pictures from around the world. There's new back lash to the controversy over women's contraception. One lawmaker wants to turn the table and put some new regulations on men. CNN's Lisa Sylvester has the details for us. Lisa, what is this all about?
[Sylvester:] So Wolf, this has been as issue on the state and national level, a focus on contraception and abortion. But one Ohio lawmaker says if you're looking to have new legislation focusing on women's reproductive health, well, let's take a look at the men and whether they should have access to Viagra. Viagra, Cialis and Levitra, these erectile dysfunction drugs have taken the world by storm. But if Ohio state senator, Nina Turner, gets her way, a man's access to these medications in her state would be restricted. Men would not be able to get a prescription without a signed affidavit by their sex partner. They would also have to sit down first with a sex therapist to determine if the issue is medical or psychological, and be screened for underlying health issues.
[Nina Turner , Ohio State Senate:] It is patently unfair in this country that we simply only focus in on a woman's reproductive health. We have to show men that we care about them, too and for far too long female legislators have abdicated their responsibility to tell men what they need to do with their bodies.
[Sylvester:] There's more than a hint of sarcasm in Turner's voice, but she insists her bill is a serious piece of legislation. Turner is one of at least five state lawmakers who have recently introduced bills affecting men's reproductive health. It's in direct response to a significant uptick in state legislation governing a woman's access to abortion and contraception. In 2011, there were 1,100 provisions introduced in the 50 states, up from 950 in 2010, according to the institute, which tracks the data.
[Unidentified Male:] To protect the life of the unborn baby
[Sylvester:] One such bill has been offered in Ohio by State Representative Lynn Watchman. His bill would ban an abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected. That's usually about six weeks into a pregnancy.
[Lynn Wachtmann , Ohio State House:] Up to 90 percent or so of the babies currently aborted would be saved due to this legislation. So the very short and quick goal of this is to protect the unborn babies here in Ohio.
[Sylvester:] Wachtmann is a member of the Ohio Right to Life Society.
[Turner:] Even if cases of rape and incest, and only if she's on her deathbed
[Sylvester:] But Turner sounds off on his bill and others like it.
[Turner:] Women should have the right to choose. Whether it's contraception or abortion, it is between them, their God, and their doctors, and they should not need a permission slip from the government.
[Sylvester:] Getting her Viagra bill passed is a long shot, but Turner says that's not the goal, it's having the debate. Now Turner is a Democrat, her party is in the minority in Ohio's House and Senate. She has found though a co-sponsor on the House side, and they're hoping to have hearings on these bills a little later this year Wolf.
[Blitzer:] Lisa, thank you.
