During a discussion with Democratic Representative Mike Doyle, Shimkus laid out some of his problems with the Affordable Care Act, including the requirement that health-insurance plans cover certain basic health benefits like hospital and doctor visits.

“What mandate in the Obamacare bill does he take issue with?” Doyle asked Shimkus. To which Shimkus replied, “What about men having to purchase prenatal care?”

As the room started to buzz, Shimkus added, “I’m just … is that not correct? And should they?”

I guess he feels that once he’s banned abortion he has done his part…
The GOP likes to kill babies once they are out of the womb- that way they can see their faces when they do it…
