SLIPPERY SLOPERY: From Bill Dillinger

[Bill Dillinger is a teacher and computer scientist in Kansas City, MO.]

Gabriel Rosenberg hits the nail on the head when he says in Goodridge "a woman was asking to be treated the same as if
she were a man." The Courts have ruled people already have the right to procreate; that right coupled with "as if she were a man" would lead to the argument that women are
entitled to penises and men are entitled to wombs. In some areas, gender makes no difference, like in political office. In other areas, gender is the essential characteristic. It's illogical to argue that since gender doesn't matter in some situation, it doesn't matter in any situation.

The fundamental problem with Goodridge is that it removes gender and implicitly replaces it with "sexual orientation." A well known quality is replaced with an unknown quality in the equation that is essential to the fabric of society. I don't see how that could advance the interests of the State or society.
