At least a small piece of good news and common sense from VA. I posted on the proposed bill to block ALL unmarried women from receiving in-vitro fertilization or artifical insemination services. Hence, because VA is backass backwards, unmarried automatically applies to lesbian couples, no matter how long the couple has been in a committed relationship. Fortunately, there are few smart legislators in VA who see this as beyond the pale of personally invasive.
"It's frustrating how many invasions of peoples' personal lives members can come up with to introduce," said Del. Adam Ebbin, D-Arlington, the only openly gay Virginia lawmaker.
"It would be funny if it wasn't so scary that some of these bills could pass."
Don't think the bill proposer will give up though. Oh no, that's not what being a Dominionist is about.
Marshall said he has not given up, vowing to put it onto another bill as an amendment "whenever the opportunity arises."
