Indiana proposes bill requiring would-be assisted-fertility recipients to have parental qualifications approved by the state

Surprise, surprise! The criteria by which applicants are evaluated are to include marriage to a member of the opposite sex and participation in religious services.

What Marphod said.

I'm not sure you can say "Indiana proposes X" when in fact a grand total of one legislator has put the idea forward and it is all but certain to die in committee. 99% of Indiana is blameless in this. Legislators are always introducing stupid things like this to make headlines and keep up the name recognition.

Sometimes I find your cynicism refreshing :).

Call me cynical, but don't call me wrong: The bill has been dropped (http://www.indianabarrister.com/archives/2005/10/legislator_drops_assisted_repr.html) by its sponsor after its first hearing in committee.

I heard! I found that refreshing as well. :)
