It isn't even Anti-LGBT it just isn't pro-LGBT. It's simply there to protect business owners from frivolous lawsuits.

>Right now, synthesizing DNA is difficult and error-prone. Existing techniques can reliably make strands that are only about 200 base pairs long, with the base pairs being the chemical units in DNA. A single gene can be hundreds or thousands of base pairs long. To synthesize one of those, multiple 200-unit segments have to be spliced together.
>But the cost and capabilities are rapidly improving. Dr. Endy of Stanford, who is a co-founder of a DNA synthesis company called Gen9, said the cost of synthesizing genes has plummeted from $4 per base pair in 2003 to 3 cents now. But even at that rate, the cost for three billion letters would be $90 million. He said if costs continued to decline at the same pace, that figure could reach $100,000 in 20 years.
>J. Craig Venter, the genetic scientist, synthesized a bacterial genome consisting of about a million base pairs. The synthetic genome was inserted into a cell and took control of that cell. While his first synthetic genome was mainly a copy of an existing genome, Dr. Venter and colleagues this year synthesized a more original bacterial genome, about 500,000 base pairs long.
>Dr. Boeke is leading an international consortium that is synthesizing the genome of yeast, which consists of about 12 million base pairs. The scientists are making changes, such as deleting stretches of DNA that do not have any function, in an attempt to make a more streamlined and stable genome.
>But the human genome is more than 200 times as large as that of yeast and it is not clear if such a synthesis would be feasible.

>In her mid-30s, Monica Kelsey learned her life began in tragedy. Her mother, at the age of 17, had been attacked, raped and left for dead. In the aftermath of her assault, she decided to have an abortion, still illegal in 1972. But at the underground clinic she had a change of heart, according to Kelsey's autobiography, and continued with her pregnancy. Later, she would abandon her infant when Kelsey was two hours old.
>More than four decades later, Kelsey is now a volunteer firefighter and anti-abortion advocate. She's among those leading the charge to install climate-controlled baby boxes — places for mothers to anonymously deposit their unwanted children — across Indiana, the first of which were placed at the end of April.
>"This is not criminal," Kelsey recently told the AP. "This is legal. We don't want to push women away."
>The boxes work a bit like a cross between a library book drop-off and a people-pod you might find in a Japanese capsule hotel. Padded and kept at comfortable temperature, the small box automatically alerts emergency responders within a minute of a baby being deposited. Kelsey told the IndyStar that the incubator locks after a baby is placed inside, and any baby left in one will be retrieved within five minutes.
>The first receptacle was recently embedded in the brick wall of a fire station in the Indiana town of Woodburn, near the Ohio border. Another box followed in Michigan City. Each box costs between $1,500 and $2,000, according to Kelsey; Indiana's Knights of Columbus will fund the initial batch of 100.
>Baby boxes are legal thanks to so-called safe haven legislation, also known colloquially as Baby Moses laws. In 1999, then-governor of Texas George W. Bush signed the first Baby Moses bill into law, in the wake of 13 dead infants found in Houston trash bins.

Seems like a good idea to me
Huh. Bush signed that. Interesting.
I think in the Netherlands or Germany you get to leave behind info as the parent which is given to the child at a later age
>>42944
I like the lady and the sentiment behind the idea, but why boxes? Why can't this be handled in delivery rooms or through midwifes?
I don't think the boxes are child abuse, but I doubt the process is actually anonymous, and I'm sure the person checking the boxes would also be better employed picking up the children from hospitals, homes, and public places.

The kid's 11.. How the fuck can anyone accuse him of committing a hate crime, Who gives a shit about race at 11 years old?
That being said the punishment for the arson should be harsh.
>Hate crime
Oy vey!
remember if its against anyone else its racist, but against the chosen its anti semitism
also charging an 11 year old with a hate crime is jewish incarnate, they're like vindictive rats.
Hello,
My name is Ted Trapp from Cincinnati, Ohio and I recently commented in an article by "Fusion" magazine regarding a hunger strike at San Francisco State University citing that their cause to build support for the ethnic studies program was a joke. I was met with nothing but blatant liberal bias and slander when I am just a humble guy trying to go to work and drink tequila on weekends.
I was told that I could find support here as well as like minded individuals.
