Funny how when an employee of Planned Parenthood had actual videos of PP board discussing how they would profitably sell off those baby parts that you assume to be nothing more than cells, the courts ordered that ex-employee to surrender her proof never to be seen again. Now that PP has to show proof of what they are doing with the remains they have decided to relinquish 6 million dollars in Federal subsidies rather than actually tell us what they've been doing. |

Or they could be like the Spartans. The Spartans would have the baby examined and if any perceived defect was seen the baby was tossed to die of exposure. ;) Some people want babies and some people do NOT want babies. SO the question remains, who should have the right to decide if a pregnant woman carries a fetus to full term? Cheers |

Like I said, this is my case -- currently awaiting argument on October 1: https://tinyurl.com/y6swokkn There is a whole world of assisted reproductive technology (ART) out there. People who want to have babies, do -- and often at great cost. I and my wife were among those people. Surrogacy is one approach, and in fact, my appeal involves many of the usual contract issues surrounding surrogacy and gamete donation -- as well as a heavy dose of the constitutional right of a biological mother to parent a child. Its the rare case when as a civil lawyer I have had to deal with Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment issues. -- Jay Beattie. |

Homosexual couples and single parent included. I have an oponion about this all but I also realize I can't impose that opinion to the people involved. What I know is that I have to pay for some of the cost it involves. I have a problem with that. A couple IVF treatments are covered by the mandotary basic health assurance. Artificial insemination for single parent are covered by mandotary basic health assurance. WTF. Lou |
