    The bill says that “most male and female infertility” can be treated with medication, surgery, or simply by figuring out the optimal time for intercourse in a woman’s cycle.

    This sentence alone should tell you all you need to know: This bill was written by a whole bunch of old, white people who have no clue what the hell they’re talking about but want to push their religious views onto others.

    Their whole argument is just basically a really long-winded way of rehashing the same nonsense they’ve been saying for years: “Use the rhythm method.”

      Yep, I saw that line and have zero patience for these people. I have a birth defect that made it impossible for my wife and I to naturally conceive. In our case IVF was the ONLY viable treatment option.

      We were lucky enough to be successful and we’re presently sitting at the hospital waiting for the birth of our first child. We plan to have another from our remaining frozen embryos. Our timetable may be moved up though by the threat of a bunch of morons trying to legislate our health and ability to have the family we want.
