    In Britain. I'm suprised this hasn't happened more often.

    Note the file photo with the story. Cheesy.

    That's an amazing story though.

    No names mentioned. No dates mentioned. Twins not quoted, even anonymously. Story being used by a politician to stop a bill makes it easier for gay couples to have children through assisted reproduction. Originally reported in The Sun.

    Yep, I buy it.

    I think that was an episode of Bosom Buddies or maybe Mork and Mindy.

    I'm sorry, I'm calling bullsh@t on this.

    sarcasm font/ Politicians with agendas are sources I trust.

    Limey journalism: never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

    If they give birth to bat boy, would that convince you?

    There is an issue where the products of sperm donors could unwittingly match up with other individuals that are a product of the same sperm donor. However, I would point out that the resolution to this would be to have a blood test prior to marriage, or at least one when the woman first becomes pregnant.

    No, no, no, the resolution is to make up bullshit in order to derail legislation which allows gays to adopt.

    If you let gays start adopting, next you'll want to let them vote and pee in the same urinals that you and I do. Are you really ready for that?

    I don't know what state you are from, but we don't vote in urinals.
