INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- A state senator has changed her mind about sponsoring a bill that would prohibit homosexuals and unmarried people in Indiana from using medical science to assist them in having a child.
Senator Patricia Miller of Indianapolis says the issue has become more complex than she thought. So she is withdrawing it from consideration.
Miller said earlier this week that state law does not have regulations on assisted reproduction and should have similar requirements to adoption in Indiana.
She acknowledged when she proposed it that the legislation would be "enormously controversial."
The bill defined assisted reproduction as causing pregnancy by means other than sexual intercourse, including artificial insemination, the donation of an egg or embryo and sperm injection.
Well, thank goodness for small favors, eh?
