An Alabama Democratic lawmaker has a unique response to a recent law limiting abortion rights in the state: require men to undergo vasectomies either when they hit 50 or have three children.
Such would be the case under a new bill from Rep. Rolanda Hollis that was introduced on Thursday. "Under existing law, there are no restrictions on the reproductive rights of men. This measure would require a man to undergo a vasectomy within one month of his 50th birthday or the birth of his third biological child, whichever comes first," the bill says. The bill faces long odds in the Republican-controlled legislature, but Hollis told AL.

Hollis' bill will now head to the Judiciary Committee for consideration, which is made up of 14 men and one woman, per the state legislature website. Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Hill, a Republican, told CNN that he is unsure of the bill's future, but that it's the first of this kind that he's seen.
