Gay Couple In NYC Demands Taxpayers Fund Creation Of Motherless Children

A gay couple in New York is suing the Big Apple government because, under the city’s current insurance policy, they did not qualify for fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization and surrogacy.

Corey Briskin, a former assistant district attorney for the City of New York, and Nicholas Maggipinto claim they have a right to parenthood even though their biology together doesn’t allow for it…

Test tube bastard funding act?

[mrmeyer]

It was never going to stay there

[dfwgator]

This is where God steps in and says...”Ok, everybody, out of the pool!”

[Irenic]

I’m not a fan of what surrogacy is becoming-—it’s more and more similar to the rich buying body parts off the less fortunate.

Let me buy a slave for 9mos.

[DannyTN]

Maybe, but God’s allowed man to do some pretty outrageous things.

Man just keeps pushing that Apocalypse Now button. One day it will work.

My biology does not allow for me to be an NBA star but I want the government to step in and make me one anyway.

[Tell It Right]

Two men demanding insurance pay for one of them to be able to be pregnant is even more stupid than if sue my insurance to demand they give me the ability to multi-task. LOL

[Salman]

Not merely a right but an entitlement.

Also see my tagline.

That'll go over well with the BLM homophobes running the city.

......they have a right to parenthood even though their biology together doesn’t allow for it…

no

No

NO !

‘I don’t care what they do in the privacy of their own bedrooms...’

That was the death knell of civil society.

[fwdude]

This isn’t a new development. Almost a decade ago, a couple of sodomites conscripted a woman to birth “their child” and then wanted to claim all the massive medical intervention expenses of pregnancy and child birth of the unrelated (tax-wise) woman as a medical deduction on their tax return. So, what’s the answer? Polygamy to make her part of the “marriage?” You cannot cover unrelated people’s medical expenses and expect to deduct those expenses.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

So, in effect, they are demanding taxpayers create and fill baby vending machines for gay men.

[who knows what evil?]

Exactly.

They have a right to parenthood even though their biology together doesn’t allow for it.

Monkey and dog agree

[fwdude]

Even though laws against sodomy were almost impossible to enforce, they expressed public opinion on private behavior. That was a powerful force against blessing sodomy at least.

[Chode]

filthy disease ridden queers...

[Organic Panic]

Government really is god to these heathens.

If coverage is provided but only to mixed sex couples, NY is discriminating against these two on a basis of gender, in my view, depending on how the coverage is determined and works. If it is only medical effort to restore or support normal biological function then it is NOT discrimination. If it’s outright paying for surrogacy and donated biological resources, NY is in error.

The line is fine but bright and clear. Medical treatment to restore or support basic functions (like a transplant or viagra coverage) is different than medical (mis)adventurism like abortion and transgender sex reassignment surgery.
