Maine Republicans Want To Cure Infertility, Unless You Had A Disease In Your Filthy Vagina

Some fellas in the Maine legislature think it would be nice if health insurance covered infertility treatment for ladies what want to have babies but cannot. So the state’s Republican Senate Majority Leader Garrett Mason has introduced S.P. 334, An Act To Provide Access to Infertility Treatment so infertility treatment will be more affordable. That’s sweet of him! Testifying before the Committee on Insurance and Financial Services earlier this month, Sen. Mason explained why he has introduced this bill:
When a couple has been trying for years to conceive without success, the emotional toll can be almost too much to bear. There may be feelings of guilt, anger, and for many, a sense of loss often times, a couple builds their future around a plan of having children and can be devastated when they are unable to conceive a child through natural methods. I know that most of you know someone personally who has been faced with infertility issues and have heard first hand of the struggles they have endured. There are a number of people here today to share their stories as well.

That is why Sen. Garrett and his cosponsors — state Sens. Andre Cushing and Rod Whittemore, and state Rep. Michael Shaw (a democrat) — want to help those couples with this bill, to spare them the emotional toll of being childless. Awww, that’s nice. Good for them. The end.

Oh, but there is one catch. Two actually:
The coverage required by this section is subject to the following conditions: A. The covered individual must be married; B. The covered individual’s infertility may not be the result of a sexually transmitted disease[.]

If you are a single lady who wants to be a mommy, and you have planned your future around doing that, and you have suffered the emotional toll of not being able to have a baby, tough. Get yourself a husband, and then get back to us. And if your infertility is your own damn fault, because you slutted it up so hard and gave your ladyparts diseases, tough. You shouldn’t have done that. You can just go right ahead with your suffering, or pay for your treatments your own damn self, because the Maine legislature is not concerned with helping you fulfill your dreams of parenthood. What kind of message would it send to the children you can’t have, it Maine gave the thumbs-up to the wrong kind of parents?

Speaking on behalf of the Maine Alliance for Reproductive Freedom, Kate Brogan testified at the same hearing that it is just swell that Maine’s legislature wants to require health insurance coverage to include infertility treatment, but the bill’s limitation to chaste married couples “not only bears no rational relation to any legitimate state interest, it simply does not make medical sense.”

1. K & R nt

2. K & R What if the husband has/had an STD? And gave it to his wife?

[niyad]

3. who cares? it is still the woman's fault--probably for not keeping her husband satisfied,

or some such crap. and the fault of the woman who gave it to him.

[appalachiablue]

4. Of course, evil wimmen.

[niyad]

5. these woman-haters never seem to realize that what they are admitting with each

insane piece of legislation, each insane pronouncement on the evils, stupidity and ignorance of women, just how much power they fear that women have. and how very afraid they are of women treating them the same as they are treating the women.

but then, self-awareness is not exactly a strong point with any of them.

[appalachiablue]

6. Many fear and also hate women, especially bright, intelligent women who don't 'know their place'.

Very threatened by them. Also dramatic and spirited women, unless the guys are old or very secure. The hand that rocks the cradle must be steady and all that, not just for babes, but for them! It's interesting. Empathy and self-awareness are very rare with most, but not all men. Ah...

[niyad]

7. as others have wondered, what would our world look like, where would we all be if, throughout

the last three thousand years of history, women were valued equally with men, give the same education, the same opportunities, and not treated as disposable, ignorant and unworthy.
