Virginia beckoned my wrath when they passed a law negating and nullifying all binding agreements and arrangements between members of the same sex, a law aimed primarily at ensuring that no homosexual couple could enjoy contractual legal protections like all other members of society.  You may also remember when a lawmaker in Indiana submitted a bill that, were it enacted, would prohibit anyone who is not married from receiving medical assistance in order to have a child (the bill was later retracted by its author).

Both of these laws, one enacted and the other withdrawn, target non-heterosexual members of society for legal discrimination in contractual support and childbearing.  How offensive, yes?

Virginia is back in the headlines for taking Indiana’s lead.  A new bill was submitted by Bob Marshall, the same inhuman creature who pushed Virginia’s contract bill into law which, as I outlined in the post linked to above, explicitly forbids Virginia from recognizing any contract between members of the same sex which purports “to bestow the privileges or obligations of marriage…”  That law, as written, negates all contracts between same-gender couples that can be interpreted to grant any marriage right or privilege.  It can be used to negate business contracts where “right of inheritance” is granted, it can negate medical contracts where “medical power of attorney” is granted, and it can negate joint custody of children between fathers and sons/mothers and daughters (they are, after all, members of the same sex, and child custody is related to marriage).  Oh, and the law can be applied to anyone, not just homosexuals, since it could not be written to forbid homosexuals explicitly and is therefore broadly worded to address any contract between members of the same sex.

The new bill Marshall submitted, if enacted, would make illegal the rendering of any medical service which might assist an unmarried woman with having a child.  As with the Indiana bill, this is called unauthorized reproduction — a very communist idea; China will be proud.  Marshall’s wording is clear: keep the gays away from children.  He has in his haste to demonstrate recurring bigotry created a bill that disallows all unmarried women from gaining access to medical care related to having children if it might in some way replace sexual intercourse as the means by which they become pregnant.  Here’s the wording of the bill:

HB 187
Prohibition on the provision of certain intervening medical technology to unmarried women.
Del. Robert Marshall

No individual licensed by a health regulatory board shall assist with or perform any intervening medical technology, whether in vivo or in vitro, for or on an unmarried woman that completely or partially replaces sexual intercourse as the means of conception, including, but not limited to, artificial insemination by donor, cryopreservation of gametes and embryos, invitro fertilization, embryo transfer, gamete intrafallopian tube transfer, and low tubal ovum transfer.

Based on this, an unmarried woman who decides to be a single mother cannot, under Virginia law (if it’s passed), use medical technology to make that happen.  Likewise, a widow whose husband donated sperm cannot use that sperm to have a child by her now deceased partner.  To take it a step further, it also forbids a mother who is no longer married (for whatever reason) from providing surrogate birth for her married daughter who is unable to carry a child.  Oh, and as intended, it also accomplishes its main goal: prohibiting gays from using medical technology to have children.

America’s social war against gays is still going strong.  Let there be no doubt in your mind of that simple fact.  How long will Americans watch the betrayal of all this country is founded upon simply to spite those uppity gays?  I mean, how dare they ask for equal rights and equal protections under the law.  Who’s ever heard of such a ludicrous demand?
