Mass. Debates Birth Certificates for Babies of Same-Sex Couples
Fox News ^ | Tuesday, July 26, 2005 | Fox News

BOSTON — Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (search) says babies born to couples of the same sex should be given amended birth certificates, but supporters of gay marriage who want to change those certificates say the governor's formula for doing so is wrong.

Click in the box to the right to watch a report by FOX News' Alisyn Camerota.

Birth certificates (search) are supposed to establish identity and parentage. In Massachusetts, the only state in the union where same-sex marriage (search) is legal, gay rights advocates want the words "Mother" and "Father" removed from birth certificates, and put in their place the terms "Parent A" and "Parent B."

The graphic is funny but I actually saw a jughead the other day with a barcode just like that tattooed on the back of his neck. Weird.

Just when I think they've already gone too far, they pull something like this.

"My view is that that's wrong on paper and it's wrong on fact. Every child deserves to have a mother and a father, and a birth certificate should reflect mothers and fathers," he said.

I like Mitt.

He thought he was making a profound statement ... just like 5000 other jugheads out there.

Homer Simpson hit the nail on the head when, as an internet ordained minister, he stated that he was willing and prepared to "marry anything to anything else".

Write it in pencil so parents can change throughout the year. The sex of the child can be changed when they're older. Would make it so much eaiser. (barf!)

I must have not been paying attention. When did they figure out how to produce babies from parents of the same sex? Did the Massatooshits court order changes in the laws of nature?

You know, I'm probably more liberal in terms of gay rights and all that crap than many FReepers, but this has got to be the absolute stupidest thing I've ever seen reported on FR.

A birth certificate is going to show that a baby's parents are both male?

That's just stupid. There's no other way to describe it.

"....babies born to couples of the same sex...."

Whats that?

A new scientific discovery?

What journal is it published in?

Take a look everyone; the nuts think they can change anal sex between homosexuals into the new method of human reproduction.

Gah to the Nth degree.

I saw this on the tube. Somebody tell me how the hell a baby can be born without a mother and father? The kid has to have both. The birth certificate can't contain names of people who aren't directly biologically linked to the kid. This is nuts.

These gay activists are so obsessed with their own agenda that they don't even bother to think about what kind of consequences this would have on "their kids." (I put this in quotes, because in most occurrences it won't technically be 'their kid' anyway.)

In all honesty, let us think about this. Imagine you're a child who grew up with gay parents, and let us imagine that one day you have to reveal your birth certificate for some job or some other verification of something. The ridiculousness of having "Parent A" and "Parent B" on such a certificate speaks for itself. I'm sure such a child would feel GREAT about that load of ridiculousness on the certificate they have to carry around for the rest of their lives.

Of course, that doesn't matter, because it's all about the gay agenda. Screw the kids, as long as these people get what they perceive to be as "equality." (Funny, I don't see much equality in "Parent A" vs. "Parent B" yet those who claim to want 'equality' are demanding it.)

They should just put "Father" and "Father", or "Mother" and "Mother", but that too would be equally ridiculous. Only, for other reasons.

Why are they even bothering with the word "parent". How about "guardian A" or "facilitator A"?

Then we'd have to decide who gets to be "parent A" and "parent B." I don't think this is a good idea. The K-Y Jelly Rangers need to forget about this dumb idea and leave the birth certificates the way they are. They've worked well for a long time.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

I think I pung an article about this steaming pile a few days ago. Anyway, here's another one. "Parent A" and "Parent B". Why limit it to two? What about Parents C, D, E and F? And why do they have to be able to sign their names? Where's the space for a paw or hoof print?

Is this sickness or what?

Freepmail me if you want on/off this ping list.

Note: It doesn't bode well for Romney, does it. He's willing to appease the "gay" rights crowd by amending the birth certificates, but is that enough for their royal highnesses? Until we all bow down at their feets proclaiming "Glory, glory!" to them, they won't be satisfied. Of course, they will never be satisfied until they realize that their eternal identity is NOT being "gay".

It reminds me of the old Monty Python routine:

This is a dog license with the word "dog" crossed out and "cat" written in in crayon.
