“Oh, there ain’t no busy signal on the hot line to God! There ain’t no bad battery in our Savior’s hot rod! There’s always fertilizer in the Holy Spirit’s sod! Oh there ain’t no busy signal on the hot line to God. There ain’t no busy signal on the hot, hot, hot line to God! Hot, hot line to God!”

Imagine that he has been cloned. Then, you date the clone, who is very liberal and not idiotically racist and sexist, which someone who votes for Santorum would have to be.

I agree entirely. They are racist idiots, and I feel terribly for the child. In a moment of irony, the little girl has the best suit in terms of damages and emotional distress.

If we reframe this as she had sperm she didn’t choose inserted into her body, that means a lot of things. For one, sperm donors are often screened for family histories, and for things like chronic illnesses, etc. As well, donors are often screened for ‘open’ or ‘closed’ donor policies. The emotional turmoil alone, of…

Absolutely! That’s been my contention from the start. My main concern is, because of their racist attitudes, they’ve opened up a place in the law where sperm banks have less responsibility.

I’m not convinced that is true. The biological mother had a person’s sperm inserted into her without her permission, based entirely on the negligence of the sperm bank. Approaching it in the racist way that they have been is utterly wrong, but the sperm bank is helping to make a person. It must be held accountable,…

It’s an interesting process. We pick mates for all these same reasons, but some people will get squeamish when it comes to picking sperm and egg donors for those same reasons.

No.

There has to be a way to sue, however, for putting bodily fluids in you to which you did not consent. Also, the sperm bank was negligent, no matter how you slice it. I find it difficult to believe it’s on her to show how damaging the mistake was, because she can’t know if the donor was screened properly for disease,…

Exactly. It’s why it’s all such a mess. The sperm bank does need accountability here, and a bunch of other stuff needs to happen. Her suit being handled stupidly, and in the most racist manner possible, adds to the problems.

WHAAT??

Absolutely I agree with these points. Why in the merry mother of fuck didn’t she sue for negligence? She would have won, hands down. Her suit definitely revealed her racism.

I agree about the sperm bank being held accountable. Cripes. What other areas are they being negligent in? Are they following appropriate storing methods? Are they screening their donors for disease correctly? I mean, damn, yes, suing for having a child from the sperm of a black man, instead of a white one, sucks on…

Well ... there are some other things at play, and as a parent of a kid from a donor, they concern me. As a person who did visit and use a sperm bank, I spent a lot of time picking a donor, looking for illnesses in the family histories, listening to the donor on tape, looking at donor baby photos. I ended up having to…

Wow. I’m sorry. Time to let that friend go. It sucks.

You can’t do anything. You can say, very nicely, that you don’t think anyone’s religious liberties are being taken away and that equality under the law is really important. After that, she will de-friend you, after she tries to “save” you. :( Sorry. Maybe she’ll come back to her senses later on and apologize.

She is in contempt of court. Like anyone else in that position, she has to go to jail. She would have to be removed from office in some other process because she is elected. She can’t be fired.

1. Good.

Yes! Art is all about making you comfortable and superficially happy. Boners, too!

I’m hiding the existence of this doll from my child. Because otherwise we have a problem. A $125 problem.
