A lesbian has sued the FDA for being too intrusive in her life. The woman is in a committed relationship with another woman and would like to conceive a child using a sperm donor, but does not want to run afoul of the law, nor does she want to pay the $2000 per treatment that it would take to conceive a child through a fertility clinic.
The FDA regulations state that anyone seeking to be artificially inseminated must use a sperm bank. The woman claims that this is a gross intrusion into her personal business. According to the FDA, these regulations exist so as to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. The woman’s counter argument to that is that it is unfair to lesbians because heterosexual couples do not have to know if one of the partners is healthy or not in order to conceive a child.

She should just find a good looking, reasonably sensible street kid and milk him, or with the help of a turkey baster, a friendly gay and her partner, procreation is only centimeters away.
Why should JQ Public pay to have her fertility treatments done ‘professionally’? Or pay for custom sperm?
Maybe she could ‘quone’ herslf – or her partner.

The FDA is saying that’s illegal though. That’s why they’re being sued.

If it’s legal for two informed consenting adults to have unprotected sex, then how can it be illegal for a tested donor to donate into a plastic cup and for a woman to inseminate herself?
And what does this have to do with the *Food and Drug* Administration?
