• A GOP House candidate in Maryland opposed mandating insurance coverage for IVF for same-sex couples.
• Then-Delegate Neil Parrott said it would create a "false sense of equality" for those couples.
• Parrott says he supports IVF in general but was concerned about the fiscal impact of the bill.

As Maryland's annual legislative session drew to a close in 2015, then-Delegate Neil Parrott spoke out against a bill that would require insurance companies in the state to cover in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments from married, same-sex couples.
