They do know that DD was conceived via donor embryo but they don't know my DH and I did IVF with our genetic material first. They just believe IVF is wrong. So it's not hard for me to see that people would support this. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tenn-bill-to-label-ivf-babies-illegitimate#post-2696928 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 10:47:30 +0000 travellingbee 2696928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I know, me too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tenn-bill-to-label-ivf-babies-illegitimate#post-2696863 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 09:20:53 +0000 looch 2696863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see the point of this law, if a child is born and considered illegitimate, wouldn't adopting them negate the effects anyway? It seems just like throwing up roadblocks to keep same sex families from having families.</p> <p>It's hard for me to come to terms with the fact that a segment of the American population actually believes in and supports this. I've been living in a bubble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tenn-bill-to-label-ivf-babies-illegitimate#post-2696858 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 09:15:25 +0000 periwinklebee 2696858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jaguar: awww, :heart: :heart: </p> <p>ridiculous </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tenn-bill-to-label-ivf-babies-illegitimate#post-2696845 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 09:08:15 +0000 Mama Bird 2696845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because, of course, red states want the government to stay out of people's lives.
