libertarians are going to have a field day with this person

They took this from 'the onion', right?

[Brock Landers]

But Nuts Kicked, she only wants to ban surrogacy for pay or other compensation.  Surely there will be plenty of women willing to do this for free.

Nope. It's real.

Is this about gays having babies? I really can't figure out any other motive this lady could have.

It must be a weird tea party type racist law that makes no sense, right?

The bill is patterned after a law in the District of Columbia.

[michigancat]

amazingly the wanting to ban surrogates maybe wasn't the craziest part - she had two sonograms performed in front of legislators for the introduction of the bill.

I kind of like to think I could play a part in making it a little more sane sometimes.

While the Kansas legislature is quite funny and dumb, a little refresher reminded me of the bitter circle of groups like ALEC and CMD and their constant finger pointing as they swim in a sea of hypocrisy.

Very police state-y indeed.  The policy arguments for a law like this are basically "women are too emotional to handle being a surrogate".  Good grief

It doesn't strike me as crazy.  People who are desperate for money can make really bad decisions to do things that can't be undone.  Like selling body parts.

Outlaw the organ donor program.  What else do desperate people do? Internet dating, drugs, sex, casino, scams

It's against the law for organ donors to get paid.  Some of the other things you mention are also illegal.  And none have the same sort of irreversibility.

Abortion too. Desperate people and no irreversibility. Just like gambling losses and internet dating. Also, pretty sure AIDS and other awful crap associated with drugs and prostitution are irreversible

I probably don't understand what you're talking about because I'm not a lawyer.

FYI, I'm helping you not picking on you.
