DO NOT TL;DR THIS

I don't know how confirmed this is, but I am reposting anyway since if it IS true it's a very scary direction that legislation is heading in. Somewhat confirmation here The Crime of "Unauthorized Reproduction

Un-fucking-believable.

I'm reproducing this for my flist.

I actually like the part about having to take a test to be allowed to have kids.

I'd like it better if I thought that people who weren't idiots themselves had something to do with writing it.

Otherwise, fuck that noise.

While I think that there may be merit in that, I think a better route would be to have mandatory parenting classes instead. And I don't think there is anything right or moral about regulating one method of pregnancy which essentially targets gay couples (because let's face it thats what this is) and not all couples across the board. I know plenty of married couples who were horrible parents compared to single parents. etc etc.

Agreed on all counts there.

I just found it funny for a minute because the parenting test is something I've joked about for a long time.

Hello Nazism.

Ugh. Like we need any more negative culture in this country.

Should the parents divorce, are they required to put the kid back in?

said kid gets sent off to the organ farms. lots of legal children out there will need transplanted organs.
