Spain's socialist government in action

DallasBlog.com | Tom Pauken:

“Spain's socialist government apparently is determined to carry ‘political correctness’ to the nth degree. An official state bulletin has declared that "the expression 'father' will be replaced with 'Progenitor A' and 'mother' replaced with 'Progenitor B'" in all new birth certificates." The official explanation of the change is that this new edict was issued so that there would be no discrimination against same-sex couples. It appears that the socialist regime in that country is determined to abolish the idea of parenthood in what traditionally has been a religious nation.”

Ed Cognoski responds:

Where does Mr Pauken get the idea there is any intent to "abolish parenthood". Or that being homosexual is somehow incompatible with being religious. Criticize the government for allowing same-sex marriage if you really must, but don't criticize the poor bureaucrats who have to design forms to adapt to changing legal realities. If anything, the form designers aren't thinking broadly enough. What should go in the "Father" and "Mother" spaces on a birth certificate when the egg came from one donor, the sperm from another, the uterus a third, and the couple who will raise the baby are of the same sex?

It's just a thought, Mr Pauken, but maybe that high Muslim birthrate you worry about will solve this "political correctness" problem. When Muslims are in charge, they just may outlaw homosexual unions. How about that irony? Muslims save Western civilization. ;-)
