Shadfox Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Now, I got this off of a blog, so there's that credibility issue to consider (although it links to a government site with the bill in question). Also, it's only a drafted bill, so it doesn't do anything other than demonstrate how badly the Republicans want to control your genitals. Republican lawmakers are drafting new legislation that will makemarriage a requirement for motherhood in the state of Indiana, including specific criminal penalties for unmarried women who do become pregnant "by means other than sexual intercourse." According to a draft of the recommended change in state law, every woman in Indiana seeking to become a mother throu gh assisted reproduction therapy such as in vitro fertilization, sperm donation, and egg donation, must first file for a "petition for parentage" in their local county probate court. Only women who are married will be considered for the "gestational certificate" that must be presented to any doctor who facilitates the pregnancy. Further, the "gestational certificate" will only be given to married couples that successfully complete the same screening process currently required by law of adoptive parents. Unauthorized Reproduction bill has been drafted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually did a keyword search to see if this had been posted before and didn't catch that. I haven't been watching the board that closely.

Chad3232132 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Well, I don't know where he lives, but I'm abotu twenty mintues from Ft. Wayne, and ten minutes from Auburn. You may draw your own conclusions as to my location I live in Central FL- it's a much more progressive state than it's made out to be (aside from the panhandle, which resembles Alabama socially). FL is more of less a socially liberal state and is becoming more so over time. The only reason people go around saying it's a conservative state is because Republicans have been more successful at gerrymandering my state than any other state in the country...which may change with the initative which will likely be on the 2006 ballot to make redistricting nonpartisan.

Since 1998, Bill Nelson has been the only state-wide Democratic candidate for direct election for anything that has won, and he won in 2000 with only 51% of the vote. Florida is lurching rightward -- sure, there are a lot of New England retirees, and a ton of gays (who can't even adopt like we can here in TX), but . . . alas, there aren't enough. Of course, it isn't much better in the Lone Star state -- there is no Democrat in any state-wide elective office AT ALL, and the democrats control neither branch of the legislature, nor a majority of the reps we send to Congress. We're terminally red and the redness keeps growing! Bush is getting less popular, but that doesn't seem to matter anymore. In '06, he start screaming about gays and abortion, and the congressional GOP numbers will probably raise to 60% in both houses . . . and with the tag-along Dems, it might be constitution re-writing time!

I really don't buy the statewide race results as a solid argument for Republican leaning trends in Florida. Think of it thsi way: if Democrats are can never hold more than 1/3rd of seats in the Florida legislature or Florida delegation in Washington, where do you think solid Democratic candidates for statewide races will come from? Democrats in FL have been so discouraged from even bothering to run in most districts due to the heavy Republican lean in these gerrymandered districts it's not funny. If more Democrats had any chance in getting elected in local politics, I'm quite sure they's have a better chance of getting more Democrats elected statewide. Also, Bob Graham would handily beaten Martinez last year and we'd still have 2 Democratic Senators from FL had Graham not retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpooky Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Well with bastard birthing illegal and abortion illegal, the only legal option would be for the girl to squeeze her legs shut and keep it in there until she can nab a man and drag him to the altar.

Actually there are some Republicans than want abortion illegal even in cases of rape. For instance, I read where Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn would like to see it illegal even in cases for rape. His reasoning he said was because he was the result of his mother being raped by the Sheriff I believe. I'm wondering, would a woman go to jail for being raped if that Indiana proposal actually ever bacame law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
