Sen Miller standing up for traditional morality

Mods please note: My headline doesn't match the one in the article. This is inadvertent. I originally tried to post it from the Indianapolis Star, which used that headline, but it was blocked, so I used the same article from the South Bend paper and forgot to change the headline.

Good for him!

Big government dictating who gets to breed. It's fine as long as your party is making the rules. What if some well-meaning legislator decides to extend it to all childbirth services? Hey, it's 'for the children', isn't it?

[misterrob]

Big Government Conservatism at it's worst.....

[HairOfTheDog]

Stupid stupid idea.

I join whatever movement is not stupid, I don't want to just be equal and opposite stupid. Get the law out of the bedrooms and personal lives of people. Period.

Homosexual Agenda PLUS Moral Absolutes Ping.

No time to comment. Good news. Some people don't like it. Too bad. Moral relativism=destruction of human civilization.

Freepmail me AND DirtyHarryY2K if you want on/off the H.A. pinglist, and ME ONLY if you want on/off the M.A. pinglist.

A different Sen. Miller - good for her.

Homosexual Agenda PLUS Moral Absolutes Ping.

George Orwell ping.

[little jeremiah]

It would be good if the Moral Absolutes Pingees were included in the "to" box.... See above!

[Clintonfatigued]

Why would an unmarried person, regardless of their sexual persuasion, want to become a parent in the first place?

[little jeremiah]

If you've actually read and understood much of George Orwell's writings, you'd know on which side of this issue he'd place himself.

[gridlock]

Hate to say it, but I'm with the blood-dripping murderers at Planned Parenthood on this one. Until the state starts requiring a license to have children, they have no business passing such legislation.

What about if insurance - both public and private are reimbursing for these services? Still think in vitro for singles is a good thing?

"Sen Miller standing up for traditional morality"

Government-enforced 'traditional morality' all-stars:

• Iran
• Pre-2001 Afghanistan
• Saudi Arabia
• Tribal regions of Pakistan
• Senator Miller

What's next? State-sanctioned honor killings? Hurray for big government the new motto for conservatives? I don't think so.

Conservative of Convenience n. 1. One who is conservative only insofar as it prevents big government from interfering with their agenda 2. One who is not conservative when big government is enforcing their agenda

I know plenty of single moms who don't want to get married. They haven't found the right man and decided they wanted to have children anyway before they get too old to have them. No problem with that I say.

This is really, really stupid. Big government stupid.

Moral relativism=destruction of human civilization

Moral behavior, not by choice, but rather enforced by the rule of law is part of what people left the old country to get away from.

Separation of church and state. A good idea then and now.
