At least they weren't "oops" babies after a drunken night at the bar. They were planned for.

So now the word mother has lost it's worth? The word father is also worthless? The person who bares the child out of their body is the mother. The male that fertilized the woman is the father. Anything else is just some fantasy. A man who is not the father is not the father. Why should a tradition that shows respect for a mother or father be pushed aside in order to pacify a tiny minority? Maybe those who live alternative life styles should just mind their own business and leave things alone..People tolerate those that are different...The tolerance will cease in time if they continue to be pushy.

I had a "opps baby". We were in passionate love on a camping trip and opps, my son was born 9 months later. I know my son isn't as holy as your planned ones probably are. I even had a Christian friend of mine tell me he was going to go to hell because I wasn't going to put that silly water on his head to redeem him from sin. I am sure many opps babies have brought couples together and make loving homes. I don't think you need to be a judgmental right winged holier than thou to be the only proper one to raise a child. In fact some of the worst parenting I ever seen growing up has been in strict religious house holds.

I suggest they add an "Unwanted Bastard's Day". That would be bigger than Mommie and Daddies day combined.

It's pretty insensitive and demeaning to these kids to have a holiday that doesn't include them. How are they supposed to feel when all of their friends are enjoying and celebrating their mother or father when they don't have one.

At this point, since we are moving into the absurd alternative reality that all liberals want to take us to, it seems appopriate to start destroying and eliminating anything that differentiates between the genders. We should start with Mother's Day and Father's Day. If we simply have an all-encompassing Parents' Day, then that includes all LGBT parents without hurting anyone else's feelings.
Awww, still having a tantrum because most normal people support gay marriage?

You know families raising children are comprised of a multitude of different structures. And since the divorce rate is over 50% the number of "traditional" families 1 mom + 1 dad is on the decline, and no one is to blame but the couples involved.

You are so barking up the wrong tree.
I am not religious, or right wing. I was defending my family from someone who called my children a "science project" because we used a sperm donor.
I wish all the best to you and your family.

Mucking about with genetics is a sore spot for me. But, this is rather a seperate issue. We beat up tbe subject of genetic and surgical alteration on another thread. There has been a lot of trepidation about "designer babies" and such, but tbat is a splinter "science"has from basic atificial insemination. We use artsem in cattle and horses, all the time.

And, it is a routine procedure throughout the medical world. I understand, and agree, with you on genetic alteration, prior to implant, but, that is not an accepted practice. And never should be. Nuf said.

I also understand tbe issue a lot of folks have with vay couples using surrogacy and artsem, az many see it as a disruption of the natural order. Making procreation possible by argificial means, when procreation is naturally impossible. It makez tbe thought of gays raising gays, forcing the children into the "lifestyle" by environmental and phycological parenting tactics, spring to mind. (Sigh)ok ....maybe some do. Most, I think, do not. Heterosexual couples are guilty of using children in nasty ways, az well. As weapons in divorce cases, false allegations of sexual molestation, trying to turn the child against one parent, or the other, etc. I ,personally, think this is far more common tban brainwashing children to be gay.

Anyway, I could go on and on. Times a wasting and daylights burning. Dasvadania.
