Kathleen Sebelius: ‘Men often do need maternity care’(Really? name one that conceived )
washington Times ^ | October 31, 2013 | By Cheryl K. Chuml

Posted on 10/31/2013 12:30:36 PM PDT by sickoflibs

Republican Rep. Renee Ellmers : (clip) : “As far as [Obamacare’s] essential health benefits, correct me if I’m wrong — do men not have to buy maternity care?”

clip

Ms. Sebelius: “Well, an insurance policy has a series of benefits whether you use them or not.”

Ms. Ellmers: “And that is why health care premiums are increasing, because we are forcing them to buy things that they will never need. Thank you.”

Ms. Sebelius: “The individual policies cover families. Men often do need maternity care for their spouses and for their families, yes.”

Ms. Ellmers: “A single male, aged 32, does not need maternity coverage. To be the best of your knowledge, has a man ever delivered a baby?”

Americans reject Socialism. It is slavery to the State and denies basic human rights of liberty and self-determination.

The shackles of Socialism are not easily broken.

I posted this elsewhere, but...

Men don't need maternity leave. Men don't need paternity leave, either. It is nice, I got it when my kids were born. It is not a medical issue and therefore wasn't under my medical coverage.

It was a work/life balance issue between my company and myself. An employer benefit. It built loyalty in me that benefitted them through my years of loyal service. I remembered it when they said "we need someone to...".

It is leftist/feminist dogma that there is not an atom of difference between men and women and it is a logical extension of that required dogma that men also need maternity care and get pregnant just as often as women. Further logical necessity will be the eventual outlawing of pronouns that denote or imply any sexual identity at all or the assigning of “masculine” or “feminine” names to infants in accordance with falsely perceived differences in genitalia. Thge logic of obamacare points us to the mechanism of that determination. There will be a naming office that will issue randomly selected names along with SS numbers.

Someone else posted a thread with a very similar name but it just had the video link in it,
I wanted the actual transcript text posted here (makes better threads) so I found this one at another source, that no one posted yet.

You might need maternity benefits if you were a male and had this b**** as a mother.

RE :”It is leftist/feminist dogma that there is not an atom of difference between men and women ...”

They dont believe that a bit,
They believe that nature creates an unlevel playing field that they can fix with gov power by tilting it in different directions a careful balancing act.

They just to tell us we all are the same so it sounds fair and right and just.

There is a classic line in one of my favorite sci-fi thinking movies I saw on a NYC PBS channel, its little known. I later read the book. Author wrote Planet of Apes too.
The Lathe of Heaven, (1979 film released in 1980,WNET's Experimental TV Lab project )

Don't think that you can out-think God”

I saw this at a good age forming my worldview.

It will still rankle and make them mad and show their true stripes — so whenever we can turn a phrase back on them — let’s roll.

Besides it is fun. Exposing them to the truth that their cleaver mantras can work both ways.

I know who the liberals/commies are; I despise them.

It’s the fake Republicans /fake Conservatives I really despise and want to pound them because they are so wimpy. Unless they all collectively being blackmailed, there is no reason to not stand up and call out this craziness/insanity.

Thomas Beatie

A bull sh* ABC "news" story from July 3, 2008.

This story always pissed me off. Thomas Beatie was born a woman, she was a woman when she got pregnant, a woman when she delivered her baby and remains a woman today. Just because she takes hormones to grow a beard does not make her a man.

Telling me a circle is a square does not make it so and this is exactly what the media tried to do with this silly "news" story.

'". . . there can be no doubt that Socialism is inseparably interwoven with Totalitarianism and the abject worship of the State. It is not alone that property, in all its forms, is struck at, but that liberty, in all its forms, is challenged by the fundamental conceptions of Socialism." W. CHURCHILL

OH MAN, LL/2 WAS THIS GUY PRESCIENT OR NOT? WHAT A SEER...WHAT A GENIUS...WHERE ARE THE LEADERS OF SUCH ILK IN 22TH CENTURY AMERICA TODAY?....WELL WE HAVE:

1. RONALD REAGAN/SARAH PALIN

LEADERS OF A FEATHER

2. ANNIE COULTER: WARRIOR PRINCESS/TIMELESS PATRIOT



3. SEN. CRUZ

4. MARK LAVIN

5. RUSH LIMBAUGH

5. THOMAS SOWELS

I thought Planet of the Apes was written by Pierre Boulle.
