In the lesbian community, artificial insemination is popular among those who wish to become parents. A friend of mine chose this route and gave birth to, and raised, a really great daughter.
Had it been a boy, would they have raised it or aborted it and tried again? Cynical - yes, but with good reason, remember the issue with the lesbian girlfriend beating to death her "lover's" son because he wouldn't call her 'daddy'?
How sad. Someone who will never be "daddy's girl".
Who will never have her father walk her down the aisle, or take her fishing, or pick her up and swing her over his head when she's little.
Of course, it's all about the adults and what they want.
Not about the welfare of the kids.
Back in my single days, I went on a weekend-long blind date/double date with a girl in Seattle. Over dinner, she and her friend told me of their co-worker, a lesbian who was impregnated with the assistance of a willing male, a closed bathroom door, and a turkey baster. "Isn't that great!"
She was hot and a tramp, and I used her like Kleenex, but I couldn't wait till our outbound flight.
