Unauthorized Reproduction bill has been drafted for Indiana

"According to a draft of the recommended change in state law, every
woman in Indiana seeking to become a mother through assisted
reproduction therapy such as in vitro fertilization, sperm donation,
and egg donation, must first file for a "petition for parentage" in
their local county probate court.

Only women who are married will be considered for the "gestational
certificate" that must be presented to any doctor who facilitates the
pregnancy. Further, the "gestational certificate" will only be given
to married couples that successfully complete the same"

ummm, what? please tell me this is a joke.

Edit: Actual Legislation

Edit: I'm actually wondering if this bill isn't designed on some level to fail, to see how far they can get with it. This one doesn't go through, how about the next one that isn't as extreme? The fact that the next one isn't as extreme will make it seem reasonable in this one's wake..a death of freedom by inches.
