California Democrats want to increase the number of parents a child can have. SB 1476 would allow a child to have more than two parents at the same time in order to accommodate same-sex parents, surrogates, assisted reproduction, and other non-traditional parental relationships.
SacBee.com reports:
"The bill brings California into the 21st century, recognizing that there are more than Ozzie and Harriet families today," Leno said. But some disagree. "It comes as no surprise that he would try to say that a child has more than two parents – that's absurd," said Benjamin Lopez, a legislative analyst for Traditional Values Coalition, a Bible-based civil rights group.
SacBee points out potential problems and complexities caused by SB 1476:
Examples of three-parent relationships that could be affected by SB 1476 include: 1) A family in which a man began dating a woman while she was pregnant, then raised that child with her for seven years. The youth also had a parental relationship with the biological father. 2) A same-sex couple who asked a close male friend to help them conceive, then decided that all three would raise the child. 3) A divorce in which a woman and her second husband were the legal parents of a child, but the biological father maintained close ties as well. How do you feel about the proposed bill?
SacBee.com reports:
Mom and Dad, same-sex couples or blended families, California law is clear: No more than two legal parents per child. State Sen. Mark Leno is pushing legislation to allow a child to have multiple parents.

Tax deductions, citizenship, probate, public assistance, school notifications and Social Security rights all can be affected by determinations of parenthood, notes the Association of Certified Family Law Specialists.

like a step parent can become close to the kid to be a parent.
what difference does it make? some kids dont have any and would kill for even one, let alone have more than two
Conservatives are making a mountain out of a mole-hole, only because of their anti-gay marriage views. There's no reason not to update a legal document, that when written, didn't include the possibles of divorce, remarriage, gay marriage, foster parenting, all including the legal rights to more than two people parenting a child.. Stupid on the part of the bill writers and nonsense on the part of those opposing its change.
American children are now at the bottom of western education and more children are ending up in prison than at anytime in history.
.
My take as to why education fails? Our kids go to school for 180 days a year while others go 210-240. That adds up and creates a deficit of knowledge that isn't made up. I don't think vouchers are the answer, but I don't think teachers should be able to hide behind tenure either. A 210-day school year with 8 subjects would be conducive to helping kids get a well-rounded education.
As for the ever-increasing prison population, you can thank lobbyists from the private prison industry for influencing lawmakers to push for mandatory minimum sentences so they can house prisoners with your tax dollars. Law enforcement used to confiscate drugs and be done with the "perp", now some states have MMS for first-time possession.
I meant to click "NO" but the page scrolled down just as I went to click -.-
No, I'm old fashioned i don't think it's ok.
Also there is the case of surrogate mothers. A fertilized human egg, from a biological father and mother, is implanted into a woman who carries it to term. This child has two mothers and a father. This procedure is in use now.
Then there are the step-parents and multiple divorces...
It seems you agree with NAMBLA, according to your logic anything goes. Hell, every sicko in the world uses your logic.
Normal is what society dictates and the price society is willing is pay. Because it is society the bears the consquences of depravity and bad laws.
We have seen what Liberalism has done to the American family, it has destroyed it. Today kids are not only the worst educated in Western Society, but the rate at which children are going to prison and/or becomimg victims of predators has skyrocketed under Liberalsim.
Liberalism is a disease, like a cancer it spreads depravity throughout society.
1 - no need to circumcise
2 - legalizing gays and lesbians
3 - 2 PARENTS at a same time -
4 - claming we are Apes , not Human individually
