| hoppy Banned  , | #1  Mar 04, 2012 @ 21:24:07 There ya go. Same sex marriages will just add more headaches. A custody battle in Florida between two lesbians could fuel the growing national debate over the definition of motherhood. It also might force state lawmakers to reconsider a 19-year-old law regarding the rights of sperm and egg donors. The women, now in their 30s and known in court papers only by their initials, were both law enforcement officers in Florida. One partner donated an egg that was fertilized and implanted in the other. That woman gave birth in 2004, nine years into their relationship. But the Brevard County couple separated two years later, and the birth mother eventually left Florida with the child without telling her former lover. The woman who donated the egg and calls herself the biological mother finally tracked them down in Australia with the help of a private detective. Their fight over the now 8-year-old girl is before the state Supreme Court, which has not announced whether it will consider the case. A trial judge ruled for the birth mother and said the biological mother has no parental rights under state law, adding he hoped his decision would be overturned.

PrinceMonolulu Harlow, United Kingdom | #5 Mar 04, 2012 @ 21:28:54Dont see how them being lesbian has anything to do with this law needing reconsidering, straight couples use sperm doners too. | ||||||

You took the words right out of my mouth. This has nothing to do with the fact they are a same sex couple, and everything to do with the fact they are both selfish t***s...as is any parent who puts a child through that crap without GOOD reason. | ||||||

| Hot_Rod Deleted Banned A yacht, Monaco | #9 Mar 04, 2012 @ 21:33:13Meaning that if more couples, numerically speaking, marry, then there will be more risk, numerically speaking, of such scenarios occurring? That is inevitable, but not a reason to attack homosexual marriage, as it is purely a function of numbers. | ||||||

| Hot_Rod Deleted Banned A yacht, Monaco | #11 Mar 04, 2012 @ 21:36:55You began this thread with an example of a lesbian couple. Being lesbian, they would either need to defy that momentarily to sleep with a potent man in order to achieve pregnancy, or use a sperm donor. It is required conceptually by default.  | |||||||

Bottom line is, the kid will suffer for it all.  | ||||||
