Looks like more baster-dization of the nuclear family sanctioned by a court.

Who's your Daddy now, Turkey. ;-)

My opinion is that it's not artificial insemination that is being made fun of, but the fact that a birth certificate is no longer a certificate of birth and parentage. It is now just a certificate listing the legal guardians of an individual.

I could give birth and list Santa Claus as the daddy. It means nothing as far as who the biological parents are.

Remember during childhood when every child wondered for a moment whether they were adopted and mom and dad pulled out the birth certificate to prove it to you? Well...over the years, the birth certificate has lost it's legitimacy as being evidence of one's true parentage. Now...it's just a document wherein the mother can list just about anyone as the father....or in this case...co-parent.

The document will be factually incorrect, and therefore useless. Doesn't the judge care about that at all? Does he not understand the purpose of such documents is to assemble information based on facts, not on 'feelings'? It's not a birth announcement, for cryin' out loud...it's for record keeping purposes. Or at least they used to be.

Yes, those are rhetorical questions. It's obvious the judge was bitten by a rabid moonbat long ago and has the venom coursing through his bloodstream.

This is another reason to scorn the Slimy Sucker Seven for their 'compromise'. They are perpetuating exactly this type of idiocy.

What do they do on Thanksgiving Day? Eat cornflakes? Or bring out big daddy to add help add flavor to the stuffing.\

the nuclear family will, some day, be a thing of the past.

Rosie O'Donnell is actually a man, isn't he? I mean, he must have been so pleased to hear that Kelli Carpenter was pregnant and he wasn't shooting blanks.

Before reacting we ought to look at the statute. It appears that the court is somehow fixing financial responsibility on a willing lesbian partner for the financial care of the kid. So far so good, this relieves the tax payer to the degree she is responsible.

The degree to which this ruling confers parental rights on the lesbian partner who has not otherwise qualified under adoption proceedings is quite another matter because that affects the child's rights without a guardian in fact or law to protect his interests in the matter. If this is merely an end run around the adoption statutes, it is highly improper.

I just didn't find the Turkey Baster references funny at all.

Sorry for having an opinion. Deal with it.

This has nothing to do with heteros, hence my comment in jest.

No, just in poor taste

The court should have tossed the case without so much as a hearing. The courts should not be facilitators for this kind of errant nonsense.

So true! Without any genetic contribution whatsoever, the court rules that this lesbo room mate is a co-parent? We're watching a judicial circus of invented values.

Sadly, heterosexual couples started this nonsense of conceving a child in a lab as if creating a life was a scientific process rather than a procreative mystical act.

Its not the child's fault - just like its not the child's fault if he is conceived in rape. The child should not be killed or maltreated because he was ill-concieved. But that does not excuse the selfish act of the parent(s).

His parents demanded he be custom made in a lab - with some siblings created as spares that have already been killed off or frozen indefinitely.

Poor child, I can hear the taunts now, "Who's your Daddy?"

Why is it that adults can be so damn selfish and never consider the consequences to the children of their actions.

It's in no more poor taste than lesbians who would try to pass themselves off as 'normal' like most of the rest of us.

This may be news in New York but it is not news. Most states can have a Pre-Birth Order in place before a baby is born, and Parent 1 and Parent 2 can be placed on the birth certificate.

The California Supreme Court just heard arguments on just this type of issue.

There will be many many such cases in the future as the nuclear family is under assault from all sides, all so they can be considered or granted 'normal' status in society.

Who has more standing when a couple divorces, and what of the child then?

Don't skirt the point here. You debase a medical process that scores of ""normal:"' women have had, including, perhaps, posters on this board. How about posting something more thought provoking?

Obviously biology, i.e. the genetic contribution of the parents, has no standing anymore.

It is not a birth certificate, it is a birth statement.

The court has entered never-neverland on this ruling. I hope this ruling is subject to review.

I'll say the same thing I said to Carling earlier.

Get a grip. Trying to have these lesbians seek normalcy is a good trick and a Judge fell for it.

Oh, and speaking of skirting the "issue", I took it head on. You just don't like my take is all. I never said anything derogatory towards any others who may have been artifically inseminated but it sure rubbed you the wrong way for some reason.

It must have been pretty thought provoking for you if you wish to belabor my quip, whether it was in bad taste or not.

Oh, btw, you can do a search for my alias and see all kind of thought provoking articles and such I have posted over the years here at FR.

I bet you voted for aRnie, huh? (just a hunch)

Be careful. If you get Church Lady all riled up, she'll hit you with her purse.
