Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act Proposed [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 7 June 2026 | John Semmens

Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Az) has introduced the Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act, HR 8158. Ansari called it "part of my Healthy, Equity, Rights (HER) package. It covers pregnancy terminations, menstrual pain, miscarriages, menopause symptoms, endometriosis, IUD insertions, vasectomies, fertility treatments and biopsies. My bill has 28 co-sponsors."

Ansari said "pain related to periods, in particular, is something that I have dealt with for many, many years. Women's pain, whether from periods, from endometriosis, from the number of reproductive healthcare issues that exist, is severely underfunded and under-researched and therefore we don't have many solutions."

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich), a co-sponsor of this legislation, asserted "for too long women have been unfairly burdened with the task of bearing children. So far, technology has not devised a way to achieve reproduction of the human species without putting all the burden of gestation on women. The least we can do is spread the costs of easing women's pain over the entire tax-paying population. This legislation does that." The bill has also been endorsed by Planned Parenthood, the National Organization for Women and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

So I take it men will be able to take off for menstrual pain and women can get vasectomies.
