If there were a contest for the most idiotic statement of the day, this should certainly be in contention.

The "why should men have to pay for....." argument that was used here.

take away all health insurance from women... why should men have to pay for it...

Seriously, do any of these men have children???

Well, we know that Jason Chaffetz does, though he was ultimately able to look his daughter in the eye and support Trump.

to lie and evade the logical consequences of what they say.

For that matter why should I have to pay for your prostate surgery? I don't have one!

Or your Viagra?

ASSHOLES!

children (with proper care).

I have no words for those two Repugs.

remind them that women need prenatal care due to that thing hanging between the two Republicans legs.


These fuckers make me ashamed of my gender.

I wish that just once these people would do or say something that surprises me in a positive way.

prostate and testicular cancer.

They are so clueless of "high tide raises all boats".

Men have to pay for prenatal care because half of the fetuses are male, and because they all used to be one.

...shouldn't pre-natal care be a priority?
Along with maternity/paternity leave, healthy family programs, single payer health care, living wage initiatives....

Hypocrites.

Haele

we don't need no stinkin educated kids.

Having a healthy baby vs sick baby saves lots of money down the road.

It's not even just that men don't have babies, it's as if they never WERE babies. Or fetuses, I guess.

Geez.

Make the damn three year old deadbeats pay their own way!!!!!

The same Repubs have been arguing that men should get paid more since they provide for their wives and kids, when subject of pay equality is raised. But now they say women should have to pay more for health care. These dolts need to rethink their Biblical misogyny for consistency.

Men who don't want to pay for prenatal care (or for that matter are 'pro-life') should put their money where their mouth is. Have a vasectomy. Men who oppose reproductive choice should not reproduce.

Because we are all in this together.

These people are seriously damaged.

Is there any way to pass a law to spay and neuter all Republican men?

should women be forced to pay for prostate care?

Honestly, I need a vacation from this. These men (so many men!) are insane.

We didn't vote for this shit.

If you're a sociopath.

or treatment for prostate issues?

Oh, wait because we're all fucking human beings and we can all pull together for the best outcome for all of us if we can give up greed for a hot second and think!

(I was typing mine up before I saw yours (up thread, slightly .

clearly we are both of that group!

the very same bastards are anti abortion.

ask him if he was ever born.

Ask RepubliCON lawmakers if they want their pre-natal grandsons to have the best chance of succeeding in life, whether rich or not.

Remind them that each dollar spent on pre-natal care saves thousands spent on post-natal and developmental and dependent adult care.

If we say that 1 in 10 people is disabled (an under-estimate) and that of those disabilities pre-natal care could be mitigated or reduced or eliminated them to the point of saving 20% in post-natal, childhood, and adult care, then it becomes very compelling. That would be 1 in 50, and let`s say that the savings are $100,000 over a lifetime (an underestimate).

1 in 50 times $100 K works out to a savings of $2K for every birth. If you spend even only $200 in pre-natal care, that is a very cost-effective savings, and that is an underestimate.

Unfortunately, Republicons are all about quarterly corporate profit reports and don't think much about the long term.
