These are just a few of the recent stories that have crossed my desk as of late that I wanted to draw reader’s attention to. The development of “artificial sperm” and the UK study on European fertility tourism are both important milestones. Bastardette’s recent pieces on the development of artificial sperm- ARTIFICIAL SPERM ON THE […]

The CARE-tastrophe continues unabated. Just when you thought the mess out in California couldn’t get any stupider, AB 372 now apparently is projected to come with an 8 million dollar start up cost. Yes, you read that right $8 million, even as California is in the depths of fiscal crisis and budget hearings. (It’s really […]

Church’s latest piece-  C.A.R.E. Pays for Play? Also be sure to note, (particularly in light of in-kind donations and potentially jeopardizing […]

Ron’s been keeping a watchful eye on C.A.R.E. out in California and their latest nonsensical antics. His most recent post, What is Jean Strauss SMOKING???, does an excellent job of saying what must be said. Not surprisingly, considering some of the core of the folks behind the group, C.A.R.E. has falsely attributed the impetus behind […]

I suppose this could be considered another post following on the heels of my earlier, Being C.A.R.E.-less about adopted people’s access in CA and Bastard Access- either we all go together or we don’t go at all- “Nobody gets left behind.
