I think maybe you misread the article. The law would just prevent women from becoming artificially inseminated if she is unwed. It's not like could enforce premarital sex and they are not going to take her child away if she is not married. So, it has nothing to do with teenage pregnancies.

It's so silly and I just don't understand what good it would do. Women who choose to be artificially insemenated are doing so because they want to have a child and have planned for it. It seems like parents who become so accidently would be a much bigger problem. There are many women who are ready to become mothers and who either haven't yet found a partner or don't want one. What's wrong with that? There also a gay issue here. I am a lesbian and I hope to have a child through artificial insemination some time in the next ten years and at this point in time, it is illegal for me to get married in nearly every state.

Sometimes I really think the status of women has improved a good deal, but things like this make me feel like we're taking a giant leap backwards.
