Out of their frigging minds
This is just awesome - when are we going to draft a bill that will penalize men whose sperm is being used by those criminally unmarried women to get criminally pregnant? What the fuckity fuck has marriage got to do with anything? While we are at it, why don’t we also draft legislations that will outlaw driving and voting for women so they can sit at home and stop indulging in criminal acts like having sex and getting pregnant without getting married? Morons!
Republican lawmakers are drafting new legislation that will make marriage a requirement for motherhood in the state of Indiana, including specific criminal penalties for unmarried women who do become pregnant “by means other than sexual intercourse.” According to a draft of the recommended change in state law, every woman in Indiana seeking to become a mother throu gh assisted reproduction therapy such as in vitro fertilization, sperm donation, and egg donation, must first file for a “petition for parentage” in their local county probate court.
update: Ok, the bill seems to apply to only those women who use artificial methods of reproduction, so it might not go as far as my post or the linked post suggested, I take a little bit of my outrage back (see above). It still is an extremely bad law. How many women who can afford IVF treatments do these idiots think are not in a position to raise a child by themselves? Even if they are extremely poor, no body has the right to restrict a non-criminal woman’s right to get pregnant whenever she feels like it.
Update: The legislation has now been dropped
