I was excited when I saw pics of quadruplets recently delivered at Vassar Bros Hosp in Poughkeepsie, NY. Technology has certainly come a long way in assuring positive outcomes for multiple births.
Then I saw the pic of their "parents" and was deeply saddened that these children will be raised with no father and a skewed view of normal conjugal relations. The use of technology to manufacture babies for two women who obviously have a fear/hatred/mistrust of men deep in their souls makes what should be a miraculous event into a pyrrhic victory.
I'm certain these ladies have outstanding qualities as human beings. We all do. That is not the point. The point is neither one of them can ever be a FATHER.
Given the instability of homoerotic relationships in general, there is a very high possibility that they will no longer be together by the time these children are grown.

Someone had to say this. The Pok Jnl certainly won't.
