While discussing ObamaCare Thursday, a Republican lawmaker complained that the law required healthcare plans to cover pregnancy care, asking, “What about men having to purchase prenatal care … should they?”

Democratic Rep. Mike Doyle (Pa.) was asking Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.) about his objections to required insurance coverage in the Affordable Care Act during the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s marathon markup of the GOP’s plan to replace ObamaCare.

{mosads}“What about men having to purchase prenatal care?” Shimkus said, which led to murmurs from other lawmakers.

“I’m just — is that not correct?” Shimkus said. “And should they?”

ObamaCare requires all health plans to cover certain benefits, including doctor visits, hospital care, prescription drugs, pregnancy care and childbirth.

The statement got traction on social media: 

Fair question, considering the % of the 360k women & girls in @RepShimkus‘s district who gave or will give birth by immaculate conception. https://t.co/3YB78O8eto

Illinois rep John Shimkus thinks men shouldn’t pay for prenatal care. He ran unopposed in 2016. @runforsomething https://t.co/FMSHCU6KqP
