U.S. brokered deal to help wife of Cuban spy become pregnant through artificial insemination

The woman, the wife of one of the Cuban spies imprisoned in the U.S. on espionage charges, was in her early 40s and said she was almost out of time. According to Tim Rieser, Leahy’s foreign policy aide, she was “clearly desperate.”

That began an unusual effort on the part the senator, who is chairman of the State Department and Foreign Operations for the Appropriation Subcommittee, and his aide to help carry out an artificial insemination using the semen of a prisoner sentenced to two life terms and transporting it hundreds of miles away to impregnate his wife. The insemination happened in Panama, where the wife was flown to have the procedure. […]

But the move was condemned by Miami Congressman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who tweeted that the U.S. “should not have facilitated in vitro procedures [for] convicted assassin Gerardo Hernandez.” …

Their places suck more than ours does, but every one of them who comes here brings more suck with him. Soon, the playing field of suckness will be level, just as President Suck intended.

Our government/politicians get involved in stuff that they have absolutely no business getting involved in.

Obama couldn’t even pick up his phone. I, too, am so disgusted with how they treated our marine.

Hell Billy Clinton would have done it for free in the comfort of her own home.

How did Senator Leahy regurgitate enough viable semen to have this be a success?

This senator is pretty amazing. He should do porn.

Hopefully Leaky Leahy did not live up to his nickname in this instance...

On top of all you said, they are helping this woman to become pregnant by a man whom her child will not ever see. But that, of course, is the perfect DemocRAT household.

A Day in Infamy - Barack Obama’s Cuban Pact

Canada Free Press ^ | 12/20/14 | Obie Usategui

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3239237/posts

I consider Obama’s renewed relations with the communist island as one of the most despicable political acts I have ever been a witness to. Inherent evil of Barack Obama and his administration For the most part of the Cuban-American community residing in Miami, Florida, the day of Wednesday, December 17th, 2014, will—more likely than not—go down in their history books as a day in infamy, much the same as did December 7th, 1941, for all Americans. The former, when Barack Obama announced the U.S. restoring full relations with Cuba, including the opening of an embassy in the island—a bold move...

He really needs to be sent on a junket “fact-finding mission” to some hell-hole, preferably with Al Franken, Harry Reid, Botoxi Peloxi, etc — aboard a Malaysian airliner.
