INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - An interim legislative committee is considering a bill that would prohibit gays, lesbians and single people in Indiana from using medical science to assist them in having a child.And because gays can't get married, you get this. What's even more creepifying in my eyes is the fact that apparently Idianans are already cool with these kinds of restrictions on adoption.
Sen. Patricia Miller (R-Indianapolis) said state law does not have regulations on assisted reproduction and should have similar requirements to adoption in Indiana.
"If were going to try to put Indiana on the map, I wouldn't go this route," said Betty Cockrum, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Indiana. "It feels pretty chilling. It is governmental intrusion into a very private part of our lives."...
The bill defines assisted reproduction as causing pregnancy by means other than sexual intercourse, including intrauterine insemination, donation of an egg, donation of an embryo, in vitro fertilization and transfer of an embryo, and sperm injection.
It then requires "intended parents" to be married to each other and says an unmarried person may not be an intended parent.
I wonder what Indiana does with all of it's abandoned children? (I'm guessing that the state doesn't have progressive abortion laws, either.)
Every day that passes, I'm glad I live where I do.

61.7% of adults in Indiana are overweight. 25.2% of them are obese. That's why single people in Indiana shouldn't be allowed to have children: because they'd eat them all themselves.
