The center also states that the average cost for in vitro treatments in California is between $8,000 to $13,000 for one cycle, not including medication. If passed, the bill would cover costs for surrogacy, which is a much more expensive treatment that averages anywhere from $14,000 to $46,000.was introduced by State Sen. Caroline Menjivar, who said that the legislation"will ensure that queer couples no longer have to pay more out of pocket to start families than non-queer families." The Senate bill was coauthored by Democrat state senators Anthony Portantino and Scott Wiener.
Men Having Babies, a group seeking to"broaden access to affordable and ethical parenting options for gay men," said it supports the bill because it believes the anguish felt by women and men who cannot get pregnant is"equal" to the frustrations of a same-sex couple who cannot reproduce. "The anguish and yearning that same-sex couples and singles feel due to their inability to reproduce without medical intervention is equal to the anguish of heterosexual couples who suffer from ‘medical infertility,'"The bill comes as the California State Assembly is also pushing a bill amended so parents in custody battles could be found liable for child abuse if they do not affirm the gender identity of their children.
