Hows your 'Progenitor A?'
By David Rennie, Europe Correspondent
(Filed: 07/03/2006)
Spain has taken another step in its journey from conservative to liberal bastion by creating new birth certificates to avoid discrimination against same-sex couples.
According to an announcement in the Official Bulletin of State "The expression "father" will be replaced with "Progenitor A", and "mother" will be replaced with "Progenitor B"."
The head of the national Civil Register, Pilar Blanco-Morales, told the newspaper ABC that the change took account of a new law on same-sex marriages passed by the socialist government in July.
The move has prompted sharp criticism from conservatives and family groups who said language was being rewritten to "brainwash" the Spanish into accepting a new definition of parenthood.
The birth certificate reforms have prompted the Spanish press to re-work popular sayings using the new terms.
English equivalents would include "Progenitor B, I hardly knew you," and "Who's your Progenitor A?"
But Miss Blanco-Morales said the new birth certificates upheld Spanish traditions, including the custom that a Spaniard has two surnames, one from their father and one from their mother.

They really have...but coming from spiritually dead Spain, this is no surprise.
Most Catholics are Catholics in name only.
Don't expect a "Conservative" government anytime soon.

This is terrifying! A part of the dehumanization of humanity! A few years ago someone on Free Republic posted a lengthy article of the UN's plans for globalization. It was scarier than any scenario for a science fiction movie or book. People were referred to as 'ACTORS' for one thing. Since then, more than a few TV talking heads have used that term. Otherwise, I would have put the article out of my mind as the rantings of a fanatic. Now human beings are being categorized as 'progenitors'. I know many don't think beyond tomorrow's tasks, let alone yesteryear's accomplishments or failures. Please, please, wake up and start doing something to preserve what has been the best society the world has ever known. We were proud, we were free from fear and oppression like no society had ever experienced. If you don't, your children and grandchildren will be living under circumstances that are lower than anything you can imagine.
Only the weak-minded are seduced by charlatans!
