The bill would redefine 'infertility' in California law to include homosexual partners and extend mandatory coverage of in vitro fertilization to them.
SACRAMENTO (LifeSiteNews) — In the latest example of the Golden State’s efforts to satisfy the LGBT lobby, California lawmakers are in the process of redefining “infertility” in state law to extend mandatory coverage of in vitro fertilization (IVF) to homosexual partners.
Fox News reports that Senate Bill 729, which the California Senate passed in May, defines “infertility” as “a person’s inability to reproduce either as an individual or with their partner without medical intervention,” a definition encompassing couples that are naturally non-procreative because they are comprised of two men or two women, putting them under state mandates for insurance companies to cover IVF procedures and surrogacy services.
It would also “require large group, small group, and individual health care service care plan contracts and disability insurance policies issued, amended, or renewed on or after January 1, 2024, to provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility and fertility services” and “revise the definition of infertility, and would remove the exclusion of in vitro fertilization from coverage.”
In California, the average cost for IVF procedures ranges from $8,000-13,000 and surrogacy from $14,000-46,000, according to the Pacific Fertility Center of Los Angeles, indicating substantial increases in health insurance costs should the legislation become law.
The proposed law, which is expected to clear the state Assembly and be signed by Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom, brings together two distinct but related social controversies, in IVF/surrogacy and homosexual parenting.

My old airline gave ‘domestic partner’ benefits to gays - travel benefits and insurance - but not straight people in relationships.

There’s a vast difference between infertility and impotence. My pet rock isn’t “infertile.” It is completely impotent to reproduce.
But…. I thought the homos were snatching up all the “unwanted” kids in foster care that no one else wanted. I get so confused.
California started shutting down mental institutions in the early 70’s by be-funding them to pay for perks for the illegals and other useless items now the results are in.
Those in the mental institutions breed like rabbits the streets are loaded with them as the homeless dopers.
