For any couple who has decided to use in Vitro fertilization to have a child, Republicans in the
State of Tennessee now want to ensure that your child will be deemed "Illegitimate." Every week, conservative states in the U.S. come up with the most ridiculous Bills to try and make into law.
Can't they come up with actual bills that will HELP people instead of stupidity that will hurt them? -Their email addresses are below so you can tell them how stupid and hurtful this is!
Here is the news from WMC-TV, a Memphis, Tennessee Television Station:
Proposed bill deems children born through artificial insemination illegitimate children

Fool#1 Representative Terri Lynn Weave

NASHVILLE, TN (WMC) -A proposed bill in the Tennessee General Assembly
seeks to classify children born through artificial insemination as
illegitimate children.
Representative Terry Lynn Weaver
(R-Lancaster) proposed HB 1406, which is intended to repeal the current
statute regarding children born through artificial insemination.
TCA
68-3-306 provides for the child to be considered the legitimate child
of a husband and wife if the child is born through artificial
insemination and with the consent of the husband.

Fool #2 Senator Joey Hensley
District 28
R – Hohenwald
Giles, Lawrence, Lewis, Maury, Perry, and Wayne Counties |
"A child born to
a married woman as a result of artificial insemination, with consent of
the married woman's husband, is deemed to be the legitimate child of
the husband and wife." (TCA 68-3-306)
However, the bill proposed
by Weaver, with the Senate equivalent (SB 1153) proposed by Senator Joey
Hensley (R-Hohenwald), would repeal that statute and
label the child as
illegitimate despite the couple being married and both consenting.
