And just throw away the mistakes?
What do you think?

I guess it doesn't bother anyone else. I've always thought those stories about picking gender in places like China and India (resulting in gender imbalance) were shocking (China you could kind of understand given that kids are their parents' social security there, parents are only allowed one, and males make more money). I never thought we'd be a beacon in quite that way.

Good JuJu, I am waiting to read the actual bill. I can't believe it actually SAYS that, but I saw what they tried to put in last year and it was awful. He vetoed it. They have already purged the school books of politically incorrect things and people, such as Teddy Roosevelt (a hunter.) Yosemite took TR out of the national parks exhibits entirely despite his being the reason Yosemite valley got park status. Why censorship and mind control if they happen to agree with the position is ok but not otherwise I can't see. Or I can, but I don't like it. So many books were purged at my kids's school that when the new library they had gotten funded opened, it had hardly any books and it could easily have fit in the old library.

That is pretty unsettling...throw away the "mistakes." Does that make them anchor babies? lol..just kidding. I didn't realize birth certs could be labeled to suit a gay couple. I don't have an opinion on gay/lesbian couples having children if they are good parents but egg buying and trashing little people that don't meet their designer expectations...all for a mere $133,000, bothers me a lot.
Dang, Chee...I never sued a doc for any of my son's disabilities. Nor would I "throw him away"...he's so perfect to me and what was meant to be is what was and is.
EDIT: DAR, unrelated for the most part, but you have GOT to read this one: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=58130

America had became the beacon of such issues when doctors decided to play God for the rich and successful American couples (men and women) seeking the perfect in everything they did, had or wanted in life. Their lifestyle, body's, health, smiles, children, pets, jobs, home(s), cars, academic schools, etc...
So this isn't something that just happened out of the blue for the gay and lesbian couples whether from here, or from over seas. It is something merely as an option for those who can afford to have these children too. This is something that was in the making and creating by and at the hands of others to satisfy the demands of everything and all things perfect for a select few.
When the world stops seeking for perfection in their lives... that is when we are truly in sync with how things were meant to be. And accepts, loves, and cares for what we have. Instead of what we don't.
Every now and then our own little world needs to be shaken up now and again, for us to realize that there isn't any certainties, or guarantees in life. For us to realize that it is the imperfect things, and people in life that truly makes us free.
I'll take imperfection over perfection any day Dar. Because I know I'm not perfect, and have imperfections. But at least I take each day in life and try to make things better each time I draw breathe. If not for me, for someone else. Even if I fail from time to time, at least I know that I tried. So I'm very down on, and against throwing away the mistakes or castaways. They deserve a chance too.

How? Because everything has a price here. Celebrities get away with everything from DUIs to murder to drug possession. Money talks, Clinton pardoned criminals.. that's OK, 911 made fools out of all of us, we sell secrets and weapons to the highest bidder and cry about it when they use them against us. Our morals are in the gutter, we laugh and call it a joke when White kids hang nooses in trees and say its ok for Black kids to beat the tar out of someone in retaliation. Nothing is our fault anymore, if your kid has a birth defect it has to be the Doctors fault.. sue him, this is America, free enterprise, everyone is an entrepreneur.. everything has a price... why not?

I think what bothers me most is that we are selling babies and no one is batting an eye.
Think about this one. Micheal Jackson is the legal parent of two white children, the birth certificate says he is the father. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows he isn't the father, and that he paid that woman to marry him and get pregnant so he could have a few kids to play with.
How does it make you feel that our legal system is being used in this way?
