Thursday, October 06, 2005An interim legislative committee is considering a bill that would prohibit gays, lesbians and single people in Indiana from using medical science to assist them in having a child. Sen. Patricia Miller (R-Indianapolis) said state law does not have regulations on assisted reproduction and should have similar requirements to adoption in Indiana. If the intent is to limit the number of procedures the state has to pay for, it's a little more understandable. But, the intent appears to be to legislate morality. No one can predict who will be a good parent. Marital status or heterosexuality certainly aren't gold standards. Maybe what Indiana really needs to do is loosen up its adoption standards. UPDATE: The bill's been withdrawn. posted by Sydney on 10/06/2005 08:31:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
