Indeed, the judge managed (on an ultra-compressed timescale) to provide this same-sex couple the same experience of surprise parenthood that alt-sex couples may have through an unplanned pregnancy.
This principle could be advanced more systematically. That is, perhaps adoption by same-sex couples should not just be permitted, but random and compulsory. If you're married and of child-rearing age, you might be assigned a baby!
The agency making the assignments can be called the State Taskforce Organizing Reproductive Co-equality, or STORC. So when these children ask where they came from, the happy parents can honestly say, "the STORC dropped you off".
- lucian1900 14y agoIt would need an opt out, much like contraception.
- gojomo 14y agoOK, but with a small non-zero chance of opt-out failure.
- tommorris 14y ago"you might be assigned a baby!" Oh, please god no. Not ever having to worry about getting a phone call telling me I've gotten someone pregnant is right up there on the best-things-about-being-gay list with watching men's gymnastics at the Olympics and it being okay to own lots of shoes. Are you trying to make us miserable?
- MDCore 14y agoYou know what they say: we're giving you gay marriage so that you can be as miserable as we are.
