Re: Record Support for Gay Marriage
Once the egg is fertilized and a zygote is produced both parties involved are parents. My premise is not only sound logically, but scientifically sound. We can talk of when the male party gets parental rights, but to suggest he isn't a parent is wrong. Anyone that really believes a caregiver is a parent might be right in their own little society, but outside of that they are wrong.
You are mistaking "parent" with "sperm donor" or "Biological father". They are not the same. A kid may want to believe that his adoptive father is his biological father...and he would be wrong.
On the other hand, the same kid may refuse to accept his biological father/sperm donor as his "real parent" because that person had zero to do with parenting him and raising him, and the kid would be absolutely correct.
Parenting is not donating a sperm or an egg. That is where you premise fails.
