Massachusetts Bill Would Allow Women to Sell Their Unborn Children
Massachusetts’ proposed bill seeks to redefine parenthood and legalize the practice of baby-selling in the name of ‘parentage equality.’

On June 12, the Massachusetts House is expected to vote on a bill that would allow mothers to exchange their children for money—that is, engage in baby-selling—under the name of “parentage equality.”

The “Parentage Equality” bill seeks to redefine parenthood. Parenthood is recognized on its natural biological basis, or in cases of adoption, justice for a child who has suffered loss by providing them with a safe, loving home. This bill redefines it on the basis of a “person’s intent to be a parent of a child.” In doing so, it strips all mention of mothers and fathers from parentage law, replacing these vital familial roles with gender-erased language.

Finally, and most concerning, under H.4672, Massachusetts would allow for commercial surrogacy both in cases wherein the woman carrying the child is genetically unrelated to the child and in cases where she is exchanging her biological child for money. ...

All the more troubling, Section 28N(d) of the bill addresses the scenario in which a child of surrogacy is alleged to have been conceived not through assisted reproduction, but by natural means. In this case, the court would order a genetic test to determine the parentage of a child. However, the bill states:

    f the second genetic source is an intended parent, the court, in its sole discretion, may determine parentage under sections 1 through 27 of this chapter. Unless the genetic surrogacy agreement provides otherwise, the genetic surrogate is not entitled to any non-expense related compensation paid for acting as a surrogate if the child was not conceived by assisted reproduction. [Emphasis added.] ...

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
And what am I bid?

I thought this stuff stopped 150 years ago.

Or are they only selling white babies?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

 Is this something that the people of Massachusetts are aware of?
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Nope.

Our media outlets are distracted by the Celtics and Karen Read murder trial.

The bill's status and content:

The text I've read so far is going to piss off conservative Christians because it affirms manners of conception, birth, and parentage they don't agree with - IVF, surrogacy, same-sex parentage, etc.

Leave unto Alabama what is Alabama's; Leave unto Massachusetts what is Massachusetts'.

Massachusetts already tried theocracy (Puritanism) - all we got were hypocrites, witch trials, and a Scarlet Letter.

This year is the 20th anniversary of gay marriage in Massachusetts.  No fire and brimstone yet.

Keep Big Nanny Government out of the womb and away from our groins.

Most Massholes wouldn't oppose this bill.  There's a slight libertarian streak that runs through New England Republicans.

Massachusetts Passes Bill Erasing Mothers And Fathers From Birth Certificates, Legalizes Baby-Selling
Bill H4750 has just passed the Senate in Massachusetts to change the state's legal definition of parenthood.

By Carmen Schober

Moms Are Still Having Their Newborn Babies Separated From Them Because Of Covid 
Among other troubling aspects, the bill seeks to replace the terms "mother" and "father" on birth certificates with terms like "persons" and "person who gave birth." Advocates argue this move promotes "legal parentage equality," but others understand it as a purposeful redefinition of parental rights and roles.


The bill will soon be finalized and sent to the governor's desk for approval. If enacted, it will have far-reaching implications for the way parenthood is recognized and recorded in Massachusetts.

Redefining Parenthood: The Implications
Parenthood is recognized based on biological connections or legal adoptions, providing a clear and stable framework for the upbringing of children. Bill H4750, however, aims to redefine parenthood based on a person's "intent to be a parent," rather than on biological or adoptive connections. This shift represents a profound change in the legal landscape, with significant consequences for families and society.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
