Delegate Bob Marshall Attacks Virginia Families Again
Having failed to convince his colleagues in the General Assembly to ban gay and lesbian adoption by co-patroning Del. Blacks adoption bill last year, Del. Bob Marshall (R-Manassas) now proposes to ensure that child bearing is limited to women who are married.
He's introduced a bill, HB 187, that would prohibit doctors and other licensed health professionals from assisting unmarried women with becoming pregnant. This would preclude lesbian couples from becoming a family through artifical insemination, gay couples from becoming a family through surrogacy, unless the surrogate was married, and would even prevent a widow from being inseminated with her dead husband's sperm or their embryos.
This is another direct attack on all families in Virginia. Please help us send a message to Del. Marshall today.
