CA Senate passes bill to redefine same-sex couples unable to get pregnant as 'infertile'

Democratic lawmakers are attempting to force insurance companies to pay for pregnancy treatments for homosexual couples in California by redefining "infertility" to include couples who cannot reproduce because they have a partner of the same sex.

The California Senate passed a bill in May that for insurance purposes would redefine "infertility" as "a person’s inability to reproduce either as an individual or with their partner without medical intervention."

SB-729 would repeal and add to sections of the state's current Health and Safety Code and Insurance Code so that same-sex couples unable to reproduce together would be considered "infertile," and insurance companies would be required to cover costs for treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or surrogacy.
