for my second pregnancy, and also when I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, because I was not working at the time. Nope, no MALE will ever need this? So all women must work in order to get their own pregnancy related health care themselves?

whether their insurance would include coverage of pregnancy and birth related expenses, and only buy it if they think their family is going to need it. I think that's the idea, anyway.

They don't get that we are sharing risks and sharing costs. They don't understand that the man forced to participate in paying prenatal benefits may be getting his coverage for testicular cancer or prostate cancer covered by a woman who does not want or cannot have children.

know that the medical term for a miscarriage is "spontaneous abortion" .

The GOP is down with abortion - I wonder how hard a sell that would be to low information voters.

I really loathe these people. And I wonder how these Republican women can caucus with those despicable sexist Republican men and support legislation that will devastate their own gender.
