Tell me this is not where this is going. The marketing of babies has begun. Supply is going to meet the demand, nevermind it is the absolute trashing of the dignity of human life. No little Johnny, your mommy and mommy, or daddy and daddy, couldn't make you, so we bought you instead. From the cheapest one we could find. How's that for a family story?
It goes much deeper than that. This is the end-run around legislatures that already have laws on the books prohibiting gays from adopting, and to pre-empt the remaining states from, they wish, legislating against it. This quote says it all:
