Indiana wants to make it illegal for single mothers to get pregnant...

[someguy]

...'by means other than sexual intercourse'

In a nutshell, any unmarried woman in the state of Indiana who wants to get pregnant by something other than sex will have to ask for a 'petition for parentage' in their local probate court. And yes, if a woman does it without the court's approval she will be arrested.

Just....why?

They must be talking about artificial insemination. I can't say I'm against this but it will never work- people can always inseminate themselves- who would know?

I guess I'm just a beleiver in mothers and fathers and not single parenthood unless it is unavoidable.

Here's the link to the actual draft.

This reeks of a hair-brained scheme to keep gays from having children.

It appears to have been dropped. (http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051005/NEWS01/51005006/1006)

All I can say is I'm glad it's been dropped. What a stupid waste of time for the government to be dealing with. Sheesh!
