These fools are insane.. totally out of their religiosity infused sick minds.... This mess passed in 2001..

Oh you're a single mother, you wanna put that baby (we wouldnt let you abort) up for adoption, ok cool. We just need you to publish your sexual history in the newspaper.

Nothing but religious based shaming... 2015 Puritan bullshit...

"Scarlet Letter" law in 2001 that required single mothers to publish their sexual histories in the newspaper in order to place their babies up for adoption.

"You used to be so cool, but now, you know you're so cold"

To what I shall henceforth update as the Maury Bill.

Though the fact that it was submitted and passed at all says it all.. Bush could have vetoed it, instead he signed it..

quote:


In 2003, after the law was declared unconstitutional, Bush signed a repeal. As the Times reported after the original law was overturned, the repeal replaced the provision to humiliate women with a new provision allowing men to electively enter into a confidential parental registry. Bush’s was apparently satisfied with the change, according to a spokesperson for his office:

This was an important bill to sign and it has been two years in coming. It not only streamlines the adoption process by outlining specific steps for the unwed biological father but it also balances and protects the privacy rights of the mother and child.

But opponents of the bill were unimpressed that Bush acted only after the courts struck down the law. ”Only a male-dominated legislature could possibly pass a law that facilitates adoptions by requiring public humiliation of women,” Howard Simon, executive director of ACLU of Florida, told the Times.

”You’ve got to have a real narrow vision to congratulate the governor for signing a repeal of a statute that, as a result of a lawsuit we were involved in, the courts struck down as unconstitutional,” he continued. ”The legislature shouldn’t have passed it in the first place.”

One of the women involved in the lawsuit against the law told the Times that she welcomed the repeal and was relieved that other women wouldn’t have to be subjected to that kind of humiliation. ”They don’t have to put their names in the paper in this barbaric gesture,” she said. ”They don’t have to be afraid anymore.”


When the original bill was approved, many lawmakers who passed it said they did not read it thoroughly and were unaware that it contained the publication provision.

"You used to be so cool, but now, you know you're so cold"

I wanna hear their stories.
