I hope you have a permit for that thing.

In Los Angeles, you cannot bathe two babies, in the same tub, at the same time.

In Colorado, it is illegal to lend your vacuum cleaner to your neighbor.

In Devon, Connecticut, it is illegal to walk backwards after sunset (What if it's cloudy in the evening? How do you tell if the sun has set? Does this only apply when it's obviously nighttime?)

In Indiana, if you need a little help in the reproductive area (none for me, thanks), you're fucked like a monkey trying to smoke a cigarette in South Bend.

If Sen. Pat Miller, R-Indianapolis, gets her way (yes, that's right, no need to play "It's Pat", the hag is a woman) before you attempt IUI, or IVF, you must petition the court for permission. http://www.in.gov/legislative/interim/committee/prelim/HFCO04.pdf

Seriously. I couldn't, or rather, I wouldn't, make this shit up, since it's not remotely amusing.

Single people, and faggots, need not apply.

"an unmarried person may not be an intended parent."

Now, I can see how it would be so very easy to assume that because you happen to be in love with a member of your own sex, you are much more ill-equipped to handle a child, a child that would require expensive medical intervention to conceive, let alone carry to term and raise, as opposed, to, say, the 14 year old girl down the street, dating the charming stringy-haired fellow who is, ah, dentally challenged, who isn't being taught how to prevent a pregnancy, let alone STD's, since her school now teaches an "abstinence only" program.

"A description of the family lifestyle of the intended parents is also required, including individual participation in faith-based or church activities."

So, I guess pagans, atheists, agnostics, need not apply either.

Is there anything more personal, than the decision to become a parent? Generally, people who are attempting IUI, or IVF, have struggled long and hard to become parents. It's a heartbreaking thing, infertility. Though I've been fortunate that it's not an issue for me, I have friends and family that have dealt with it. Some have had successful pregnancies, some have chosen to lovingly adopt. How DARE, another person, suggest that grown-ups, not minors, not mentally incompetent, GROWN-UPS, pass a litmus test, to be allowed access to MEDICAL CARE. Medical care, I might add, that they're paying for.
