| Message | Actually, if this bill passes, it will be hypocrisy, as: 1a The Christian right prefer bad heterosexual parents to good non-heterosexual parents. 1b Most Luthori parties don't support examing potential parents. 1c Most Luthori parties are against abortions. 2a The Christian right are prudish, and blush/faint at a prolonged kiss, so would never accept sex in public. 2b There is only a small percentage of any population willing to have sex in public (not counting porn stars). 3a Many Luthori parties are against making non-heterosexual relations illegal. 3b This makes it illegal for an infertile heterosexual couple to have sex, and I'm sure that even the Christian right would not do that. 3c If an affair between a married person, and a person of the opposite sex, who is not their spouse, engage in a relationship for the purposes of procreation, then according to this legislation, that is legal, and thus they cannot be prosecuted, and I'm sure the Christian right would never allow that to happen. |
