13. Neither the state or federal government nor most insurance cover fertility treatments.
Edited on Fri Feb-27-09 02:51 PM by Shakespeare
I really, really think you need to educate yourself a little more on the topic. We don't exactly have a problem with women getting knocked up on IVF and expecting the state to pay for it. What we do have is one bone-headed dingbat who did. ONE.

So, no, it's nobody's business. It's my body, period.

There are already agencies in place to deal with people who can't take care of their children, but YOU don't get to tell me what kind of fertility treatments I can get, or how often. YOU don't get to tell me how many children I can have.

The medical board and affiliated medical associations already deal with issues of standard of care, and do a fine job with it. Again, you cannot take a single, isolated instance and use it to punish a broader population.
