boys, girls, boys, girls
Jackson furrowed his brow; he had never realized the hardliners could possibly go so far with their manipulations of public opinion.
After the choose your sex debacle ended in pretty much everyone turning against the idea of natural orders. What about a shortage of males, they questioned. What if there are too many females born one year. He figured that with the increasingly emasculated society he could expect a generation of power-suit sporting Janes with midrange ambitions, fueled on by both daddy and mommy, to fulfill the ideal of the gender neutral. But here he was getting ahead of himself. He needed to prepare.
Of course, it was the next step for the gays to demand like babies; It was only natural to raise your child in the culture to which you were accustomed.

Thus, only one parent need qualify--or a family member acting as the guardian of one or more. He thought of his own daughter, living three thousand miles away.
