Jessica's comments suck...
Jessica, you and the "christian" wing-nuts need to STOP pushing your agenda off on everybody else. It's your OPINION that homosexuality is "abnormal" as you say. I, for one, do not think it is abnormal to be homosexual, just different than being heterosexual. It's crazies like you who should be kept away from parenthood. This is not a moral or religious issue either. It's a legal issue, and just because you say that most Americans don't agree with giving gays the same rights as straights, or don't agree with letting them be parents, doesn't make it right. This may be shocking to you, but it really is possible that a majority of Americans can be wrong about something...Civil Rights Act of 1964 ring a bell? There wasn't widespread support for that legislation in the early '60s, but we know that it was the right thing to do regardless of the lack of public support for it at the time.
Can someone tell me why weirdos like Jessica are obsessed with what total strangers do in the privacy of their own bedrooms? And HOW, exactly that has any bearing on someone's potential parenting skills and the ability of a person to love a child?
More and more I am realizing the republic is dead.

Bring on the Burkas
The whole thing is so dishonest. The sanctity of life. The murder of the unborn. Stem cells. Birth control. Now, restrictions on lesbians. What's next? It makes me sick but I hate them almost more for the dishonesty than their evilness.
These things are all about woman-hating and control. Those doctors and all the right-wing scumbags that support them clearly long for the days when women were chattels and knew it. When the idea that you were not to beat your woman with a stick thicker than your thumb was an sincerely kind idea.
These people will not stop until they have brought women down low. I honestly believe that it's an apocalyptic battle and I am not even slightly confident that the good side will win.
In Iran women went from being doctors and lawyers to wearing burkas in a very short period. Iran is a democracy, too. As the forces of restriction (in many ways, along with misogyny) insist that we are a Christian Nation - their brand of christian - we face the strong possibility of a violent decline in the status of women.
I hate these people.
Sincerely,
TQ White II

Jessica
I don't think the government should allow people to deliberately bring a child into their home when they have a mental disorder and are depriving them, not through unfortunate circumstances but through deliberate choice, of a father or mother.
I don't think the government should allow people like you who to have kids either. Your frigid, judgemental holier-than-thou attitude is likely going to screw up some poor child regardless of whether or not they have a father. But you know what the diffeernce is between you and me? If I were given a choice I wouldn't want the government to ban your family or for people to discriminate against you. I'd just do my damndest to keep people like you far, far away from my family.

legally unmarried lesbian
Since homosexuals can't be legally married in California, insisting upon marriage for insemination is insisting on a legal impossibility as qualification for legal status. How can this be, well, legal?
If the woman, straight or gay, was clearly unfit, the issue would be worthy of discussion, but turning a physician into a moral touchstone is a travesty of law and medicine.
Of greater concern is the evolving notion that physicians and pharmacists duty is to themselves and their religious beliefs rather than to their patients and to their professions. Whether the request is for birth control or birthing, the province of medicine is to distribute health care and law to set the standards of health care, not the morals of those who need it.

Historic note

"I know you won't answer this, but, do single women have a right to have children? Or should their children be taken away and put in 'acceptable' homes? How do you define the government's ability to enforce that there are 'acceptable' and 'unacceptable' families? How far are you willing to go?"
Sad to say, but in the past government did take children away from parents deemed "unacceptable" -- namely, Native American parents who were not considered sufficiently "civilized" simply because they were not white. It happened to aboriginal parents in Australia, too. As horrible as the idea is, it was once a reality. Maybe that makes Jessica's comments more chilling.

I take it back, gays can adopt!
Liberals love to go on and on about individual rights, but the truth is that just because someone wants to do whatever falls into their brain doesn't make it the right thing to do --- nor does it mean other people have to allow them to do it. The "right" to homosexual "marriage" is nonexistent, as is the right of homosexuals to adopt. No one has any interest in restricting single mothers or any other kind of lousy parent in their reproduction, because that's not the job of the government (to interfere in normal human misery). I am a conservative and believe in limited government for the most part. However, there IS a vested societal interest in keeping freaks from inflicting harm on the innocent children they selfishly bring into the world by artificial means or adopt from some other place.
Actually, I am fine with gays adopting children, as long as the kids are so mentally retarded that they don't have the capacity to be psychologically damaged by living with two selfish, narcissistic people going against nature.
Face the facts: normal Americans outside of the insular fantasyland blue states will never accept the homosexual agenda no matter how much brainwashing they're subjected to. And I completely support the idea that gays should be protected from violence and harassment, I don't want to see anyone hurt especially not because of religion. Being left alone is the best you should hope for if you are gay, and you should be greatful for that.
