    The intent of this law is to prevent unmarried women from getting pregnant by artificial means, however the law does read "Including artificial means" which can be interpreted by a court to mean that ALL pregnancies that occur in unwed women can be targeted as illigal. I'd have to read the actuall bill to make a final determination though. Do you have a link to it?

    How in the world can they enforce a law like this? If it does only apply to artificial insemination, then of course the law can be enforced like any other law that bans a medical procedure but then you'll have the problem that plagued people when abortion was illigal: Backyard clinics doing things the black-market way and the result will be women that are siriously injured or killed. Now, what are they planning on doing if they wish to make it illigal to be a single mother in any circumstance? Forced Abortions? I think that will fly like a lead ballon in a lightning storm.

    Liz, thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear the Senator had a change of heart.
