Why California’s Three-Parent Law Was Inevitable
Public Discourse ^ | September 10, 2012 | Jennifer Roback Morse

Posted on 09/10/2012 3:33:58 PM PDT by neverdem

A California bill allowing children to have three legal parents will not help children, but instead will unnecessarily complicate their lives. The supposed need for California’s SB 1476 flowed directly from the drive to normalize same sex parenting and recognize same sex unions.

Can a child have three parents? If California State Senator Mark Leno has his way, children in California will be able to have three legal parents. Before we dismiss SB 1476 as another example of California Weird, we had best look into it more closely. After all, the bill has passed both houses of the California Assembly and is awaiting Governor Brown’s signature or veto.

I believe this development was inevitable, more inevitable in fact than the much-vaunted inevitability of gay marriage. Once we started trying to normalize parenting by same-sex couples and redefine marriage to remove the dual-gender requirement, we had to end up with triple-parenting.

A deeper look at the whole picture surrounding SB 1476 reveals that not only should the three-parent law fail, same-sex “marriage” should fail as well. As we will see, embedded in this bill is an appalling power-grab by the state, and a grotesque misrepresentation of the facts by the bill’s authors.

Why Normalizing Same-Sex Parenting Inevitably Led to Triple-Parenting

Let us state an obvious fact: a same-sex couple cannot have a child unless someone gives them one, or part of one, namely either an egg or a sperm. If two women, for instance, decide they want to have a baby, they must still involve a man in the process. They can use some form of artificial reproductive technology with sperm from a man who is unknown to them. Or, they can find an accommodating friend to have sex with one of them, or to donate his sperm.

The question is...

Why stop at three?
Surely there can be situations where 4 or more adults can be parents./sarc

One of the many unintended [or intended] consequences of same sex marriage.

A man named Jesus was the biological father. Melissa had a relationship with him during one of her separations from Irene.

A bit of irony there.

This would make me VERY nervous if I were a sperm donor, egg donor etc... If someone CAN be recognized as a third parent then eventually they WILL be recognized as a third parent.

It’s just a matter of time before these folks are being sued for child support, I suspect.

This is precisely why homosexuality was outlawed in the first place: Keep the perverts from perverting marriage, parenting, children, etc.

It’s a little long, but worth a gander, IMHO.

It reminds me of a great acronym, KISS, i.e. Keep It Simple Stupid.

No offense is intended. Maybe someone can stifle a moonbat with it.

"Bestiality Rights" is coming soon, and if you think I am joking, you are wrong.

By the way, you can Google it - but be careful. Your search will turn up many factual articles that this next wave of perversion is in full swing, however, there are also doors into the depravity of this wickedness that you have to watch out for.

I fully expect the Democrats to embrace this group of hell bound spawn as well......why not? They embrace every other form of pure evil.

many on here and other solid conservatives said this woudl happen and that there was a ling.
On one side 1man and 1 woman
on th eother side of the lne was anything as every arguemnt used for the homostapo could be used for anything.

This is why homosexual marriage and adoptions need to stop, now, they need to be told that they do have the same rights as us and children are better off.

Sadly we have also had the half baked trolls on here saying they had no problem with homosexual marriage or adoption or even serving openly.
Thankfully Jim got rid of most of them but I;m sure there are a couple still lurking

"So, in California I can take on another wife now?"

Of course, because multiple 'prospective' parents are just as valid as any other parents. Discrimination is forbidden.

Anyone who didn't see this coming must have been in a coma.

I think the development of reproductive endocrinology had more to do with it. The sheer number of people undergoing in-vitro fertilization and implantation technologies and the degree to which the cases themselves get so bizarre, so dysfunctional, is why this kind of "law" was a done deal a long time ago.

It just took a pervert like Leno to bring it up.

Don't forget about NAMBLA, and I am not talking about the “National Association of Marlon Brando Look Alikes”.

After getting half way thru this article, I wanted to throw up. God surely is hurling because of this and all the other stupidity that we are causing. Just makes me want to cry.
