California lawmakers are advancing a bill that would redefine the inability of men to get pregnant as "infertility" and entitle them to insurance-covered fertility treatments.

The legislation, which passed in the Senate late last month and is about to be taken up by the Assembly, would require employer-sponsored insurance plans to cover in vitro fertilization, including implantation in pregnancy surrogates. Supporters of the legislation have touted it as an overdue step toward "fertility equality" for LGBT people.

Freshman state senator Caroline Menjivar (D.), who coauthored the bill with Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks (D.), said: "It will ensure that queer couples no longer have to pay more out of pocket to start families than non-queer families. ... This bill is critical to achieving full-lived equality for LGBTQ+ people, as well as advancing well-rounded and comprehensive health care for all Californians."

Dear Lord, please make it stop!

Looks like "queer" no longer is a slur.

So this is to cover Trans weirdos? A woman pretending to be a man gets pregnant by a male. Please stop the insanity.

California Bill SB 729 seeks to redefine "infertility" to be a status, as opposed to a medical condition. Changing the definition to "a person’s inability to reproduce either as an individual or with their partner without medical intervention" would classify gay men as infertile.

The bill, which passed the Senate last month, would require insurance companies to cover in-vitro fertilization procedures. With the change in definition, this would also include forcing the firms to cover surrogacy for gay males. ...

An organization called Men Having Babies boasted that the bill will "remove financial barriers" for gay men who wish to rent a woman's womb to have a child who has the DNA of one of the males in the relationship.

The group states on its website, "Central to our fight for more equitable access to parenting options is what we know from our combined experiences: The anguish and yearning that same-sex couples and singles feel due to their inability to reproduce without medical intervention is equal to the anguish of heterosexual couples who suffer from 'medical infertility.'"  ...

State Senator Tells Parents to Flee His Own State Amid Law That Would Take Kids Away From Non-’Affirming’ Parents

A California state senator told a gathered crowd of parents at the California Senate Judicial Committee to flee the state on June 13 during a hearing on a bill which would put parents who don’t affirm their child’s “gender transition” in danger of child abuse charges.

Sen. Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, is the lone Republican on California’s Senate Judiciary Committee, and he has served in the California Legislature for 11 years. He was also the lone voice warning against language in AB 957, which a Democratic senator had amended on June 5 to rewrite the California Family Code to list “gender affirmation” alongside a child’s need for “health, safety, and welfare.”  ...

Wilk then targeted the statements of Democratic committee members who promised that AB 957 would only “give the judge more information.”

“In the past when we’ve had these discussions and I’ve seen parental rights atrophied—I’ve encouraged people to keep fighting,” the senator added. “I’ve changed my mind on that.”

“If you love your children, you need to flee California. You need to flee,” he said. ...

Fertility, Family, and Bio-Socialism
June 13, 2023

... The old industrial socialism meant asserting control over the means of production. Biological socialism is when government manages the means of reproduction.

Enter S.B. 729, a bill that redefines fertility and infertility in the Golden State.

Until now, infertility was a medical condition. State Sen. Caroline Menjivar’s legislation makes it a “status” that applies to same-sex couples and singles.

And the law provides a remedy. ...

The new biological socialism doesn’t just argue that economic conditions are unfair. It argues that nature itself is discriminatory and must be corrected.

That requires comprehensive systems of control, including price controls for fertility. ...
