Last year, Verity tried unsuccessfully in Jessamine County Circuit Court to terminate her parental rights to the quadruplets.

An attorney appointed by the court to represent the quadruplets said in a report that Verity should remain their legal mother.

What a mom!

[NewHampshireDuo]

Is this Kerry's Michael Meehan?

[Paleo Conservative]

Verity should remain their legal mother.

What an ironic name.

HOMOSEXUAL perverts are not very gay - are they?

[nmh]

Nah, can't be. Homos are loving and kind ... nah, just can't believe it!

The truth is their angry, hostile people with heavy duty emotional disorders at work. You will never find a "gay" person, genuinely happy. Their perversion doesn't allow for happiness.

Earlier this year, Verity gave birth to Dysarz's biological child. She said she entered into another in-vitro pregnancy so that all the children could be biological siblings.

And this was all out of the goodness of her heart? Was there any cash or other compensation involved in the transaction?

If only President Bush would let them get married! /sarcasm

Homosexual Agenda Ping - Here's another one. Weird, weirder, and weirdest.

The problem is the human waste. The children and broken families left by the wayside while homosexuals are given the liberty to rampage in the vain effort to prove that they are "just folks". But it is deeper than that. Their stated agenda is to destroy the social fabric, the foundation of morality that has always (and I mean always) upheld human civilization.

Not the least, is the stupidity of the woman being a surrogate mother. Why were there quintuplets? That usually happens with medical interventions such as fertility drugs (or other means which I'm sure alert freepers will add). This whole situation stinks really really bad. What about the poor children? No one cares about them, they're just pawns, worse than slaves.

Let me and scripter know if you want on/off this pinglist.

[I still care]

Those poor, poor, kids. What a mess. Both their mother and father are nutcases.

[Hildy]

I think statistics will bear out that Gay men do NOT stay together for long periods of time. There are exceptions. I happen to know a gay couple who have been together for over 40 years. However, lesbians DO stay together. It's interesting.

You can find Meehan taking comfort today at the local park restroom glory hole.

[ValerieUSA]

Since when did parenthood become a freak show? The kids should be removed from custody of all the biological misfits who call themselves the mom and dads, and sent to the other side of the country to be adopted by less selfish, sane people.
Verity is simply engaging in the slave trade with her own body and her progeny. That's sick and oughtn't be legal.

[Redmen4ever]

Let's try to figure this one out ...

The so-called "surrogate mother," whom I gather actually is the mother, is the legal mother of (A) four children by one man, (B) a fifth child by another man, as well as (C) three other children.

The man who is the father of the four children is their primary caregiver, and I suppose in line to become his custodial parent.

Likewise, the man who is the father of the one child is his primary caregiver, and presumably in line to become their custodial parent.

This makes the woman the non-custodial parent of five children, as well as, I suppose, the custodial parent of the three others.

Being the non-custodial parent of five children, this woman will have rights of visitation and obligations of child support. In our brave new world of mix and match families, the calculation of child support is simply a formula based on the incomes of the parents, number of dependents, etc.

NOW ISN'T IT OBVIOUS what marriage is about? It's about the children.

Churches that celebrate the love of persons joining into partnerships, other than men marrying women, are saying that the happiness of the future persons to come into the world by reason of these marriages are of lesser concern.

This makes children into objects for the happiness of others.

But, children are not objects for the happiness of others. They are person, albeit vulnerable persons in need of guardianship.

While we cannot stop people from going and doing all kinds of fool things, we should avoid sanctifying foolishness.

This whole situation has just turned my stomach from the very beginning. And didn't the news media turn the birth of these quadruplets into a "celebration" of how "gay relationships" were equal to "married" parents.

After a surrogate mother gave birth, Michael Meehan and his partner Thomas Dysarz became the first gay couple ever to have quadruplets. Michael Meehan, left, and his partner Thomas Dysarz hold their four new babies, who were born to a surrogate mother. (Good Morning America)

Gay Dads Delighted Over New Quadruplets

"I was like, 'Oh, Lord, help us!' I was a little nervous," Dysarz said on ABCNEWS' Good Morning America. "I was excited — I come from a large family of seven myself, a good Catholic family, and I was just excited."

While the children are innocent victims of these circumstances and are definitely entitled to a Catholic Baptism, the Catholic Church normally "blesses" the parents. In this case, that meant blessing two gay men. The priest should have stopped at the Baptism but in confusion, he did bless the two gay men.

Doubtful this story will make Good Morning America tomorrow.

Happy Father's Day!

"Rally for a Hate-Free Lexington."

How could they rationally believe that ridding Lexington of all DemocRats is possible?

[RichInOC]

...Oh, I see, there was a birth mother involved. I'm just wicked enough that I was about to ask which of these boys was the mother, and how he delivered the quads, C-section or anal.

As an more serious aside, I think Phelps was at the very least misguided in protesting the baptism. It's not the quads' fault they were born into this mess, and they're going to need all the help they can get from the Big Fella Upstairs.

[Tacis]

You know, maybe the fairies have something here. I remember trying to pick up some young girls with a clever line and being shut down almost every time.

Imagine going up to good looking left wing honeys (that'll probably need a bath) in Boston or San Fran with a line like, "You look like a sensitive and understanding female. My male partner and I are each going to have a baby with a surrogate mother and, since I've never been with a woman before, I wonder if you'd show me how it's done so I don't look foolish when it's time."

This will be an interesting story to follow because neither guy will want the baggage of even one baby while prowling for his next deviant. There will be custody issues and, most importantly, child support issues.

So which one of these loverlies bi*tch slapped the one who was really light in his loafers.

Mike and Thom broke up? No! I was just SURE these two kids would make it together. Can't we depend on anything anymore?

This is a very sick world we live in...
