Republican Congressman Don't Wanna Pay For No Ladies Having Babies

If there is any population that has the sympathy of the Right, it is the unborn. The unborn are much better and purer than the born, for reasons. They have not committed sins yet, like being born to poor people or anything like that, and everything possible must be done to protect them.

Anything, that is, other than expecting men who cannot give birth to have to pay for insurance that covers prenatal care. At least according to Illinois Congressman John Shimkus, who is apparently very unclear about how insurance or sex or human reproduction work. (He's in "good" company, though, since neither does House Speaker Paul Ryan.) 

During a 27-hour long marathon House Energy and Commerce Committee on the new TrumpCare bill, Mr. Shimkus took some time to kvetch about how it is unfair for men like him to have to pay for insurance that covers prenatal care, because they are not the ones who were dumb enough to raise their hands when God was asking who wanted to take on the baby-having duties.

WOW. The #GOP’s reason to object to insurance covering prenatal care? “Why should men pay for it?” Watch:  #Trumpcare  #ProtectOurCare   pic.twitter.com/Q55nG1Un8j
