For 30 years, the libs have waged war against the US, and one of the ways has been through the DNA arguments (on soooooo many issues): "We're this way, those people are that way -- because of DNA. Accept us. We can't help ourselves, our lives are horrid. We are victims." And then you look at WHICH communities abortion has been pushed the hardest by the sisterhood arm of the Liberal Party. So, this leaves a number of children and babies open for adoption. And which "community" cannot biologically have their own? Hetero couples are hoping to simply have at least party of their own gene pool, a known, be some kind of synergistic bond to the baby. Understandable, really. I have also seen, over the past 10 years, more and more gay/lesbian couples going for fertility clinics, as opposed to adoptions, and for many of the same reasons as straights. The DNA issues.
It makes more sense for gay/lesbian couples to go to private fertility clinics. None of the barriers/red tape/controversey of adoption. Besides, most gay/lesbian families still adopt and are foster parents.
Odd request from someone who doesn't put a state flag on his profile.
America happens in third-tier towns -- as well as all of the other "tiers". Wait, what is a "tier"?
This brings up another interesting point about artificial insemination I hadn't thought about before.
Gays now agree/allege that homosexuality is genetic (only a few years ago it was claimed to be a affirmative life choice--but that was before aids and they needed an excuse, but I digress).
Suppose a woman finds out her artificially insemenated child is gay. Can she sue the medics? If they notify her beforehand, are they committing some kind of illegal abuse of civil rights law on discrimination?
World keeps getting weirder when we can't leave it alone like we found it.
I think it's likely that God doesn't care about 90% of the stuff that His self-appointed spokesmen say is So Important.
Perhaps... and there is no shortage of those who claim to speak for God either.

I wasn't appointed I was called.
Hopefully that freeper wasn't talking about you. Still babies are nice and children are a blessings. Could have been worse. She could have had an abortion.
She could have had an abortion.
AMEN
According to Howard, fertility specialist Dr. Anthony Santomauro immediately tried to convince her to terminate the pregnancy, But Howard is keeping it. She feels it may be her last chance at motherhood.
** I'd love to meet the doctor and ask him if it's so terrible having a white father that the baby needed to be aborted. Talk about using abortion to cover up one's mistakes! I'm not religious or churchgoing but I do know God's hand when I see it. That's all I have to say about that ;-)
Given that the odds of this being true in the general population are about 75% I will be curious to know who takes the other side of this bet.
And you'd base this wager on what? Looks like random guesswork to me.
African - Yes
American - Doubtful
But then again, most people I know are people of faith who believe in God and the rules and principles he set forward for all mankind.
Ah, I don't believe in gods, and yet my 13 year marriage is suprisingly solid.
My first thought was to question whether it was truly a mixup or if someone else besides the fiance had gotten "there."
Sad that she and her "fiance" decided that it wasn't worth it to bring a child into the world with two loving, MARRIED parents. It's a shame that they are unwilling to solidify their bond before trying to have kids.
At least she refused an abortion.
Just tell us where the bloody thing is from, is all. It has nothing to do with state identity, and everything to do with information and clarity.
In a press stylebook I once had, cities were broken down into: Ones that can go without further specifics because they are big and well known: Chicago, New York, Tokyo. Ones that need no further specifics for YOUR readership because they are familiar names to them: Mishawaka, Kalamazoo, Cupertino, Stamford (if your paper is in Indianapolis, Detroit, San Jose, and Hartford respectively). And ones that need explanation to bloody everyone because they are smallish, or are subject to confusion: Trumbull is a fine example of the first, Springfield of the second. (Springfield, MA? Springfield, IL? TX? or one of the others?)
As far as my profile is concerned, I took the flag off when I went overseas. I am back; this week I am in MA where I am domiciled, next week in WI, and I'm trying to buy in FL and get out of this Godforsaken (literally, although who forsook whom is the reverse, probably) state.
Anyway... all I'm axing ya, is consider the guy who has never heard of the town in the story, and ID the home of the story's source... I saw another story someone posted from the "Patriot-Ledger." How many FReepers know that is from a Boston urban suburb? (Answer: all of them, if the poster tells 'em).
