Indiana law to put requirements on parenthood

[cKGunslinger]

While it's rather obvious that this over-bearing and unconstitutional bill will probably never even see the light of day, I still find is curious that the OP and everyone else is outraged over the "non homosexual" parent clause, but seemingly perfectly fine with the parts that dictate people who have ever been convicted of certain crimes are prohibited from reproduction technology as well. Oversight or double standard?

I have no problem with limiting the freedoms of convicted criminals while they are incarcerated, but once they are released, they are either full citizens again or not. Restricting their breeding activities is just as rediculous, but seems somehow more acceptable to people.

There is no way this will pass.

Productive, tax paying, educated people who want kids will not live in Indiana soon enough. Keep at it red states, you will be left with the dregs of society soon, it's already leaning that way now.

Is that why theres been a continuous population shift from blue to red states since 2000?

Lower taxes, more jobs, ya those red states are really dragging the country down.:roll:

Hmmm, point taken, but we've always limited the freedoms of criminals after they've been released. They can't run for federal office and I also believe they can't vote either (for felonies).

And I can see some of those things, along with not being able to own a firearm after convicted of a firearm-related felony. But once you get into the realm of reproductive "rights," then it seem, to me, that you've crossed some boundary into human-rights issues, as opposed to US citizen rights.

China is the type of country that enacts breeding restrictions on its people, not the US.

And the answer is..

The bill would also establish criminal penalties for those participating in artificial reproductive procedures without following the process. The maximum charge is a misdemeanor.

.. no.

Next question?

This is one of the most outrageous bills I have ever heard! To think there are actually people supporting this bill is ridiculous. They ought to be tarred and feathered.

Quick call the parent police.

God gave us the ability to make choices. We may sometimes make a choice that some people do not agree with, but we should still be able to make choices. How do they plan to enforce this law? Next they will have a law which forces everyone born to have a genetic test and check it against the parents. These people have nothing better to do. Maybe it would be easier to just outlaw fertility clinics.

Selective breeding to improve the race according to someone's personal criteria. Used to be called Eugenics. Start with assisted pregnancies, broaden the scope later.
