California mulling law that would allow children to have more than two parents

Woah Sim, hold up.  The article seems to suggest that the purpose of the legislation is to recognize that more than two people can assume a parental role in a child's life -- something that doesn't seem particularly crazy, considering the way divorces oftentimes work out.  That's not an ideal situation, and maybe you have a problem with incentivizing non-ideal situations, but it's not like there aren't potentially reasonable arguments for doing so in this case.

Would you like to present an argument against this that isn't an overt logical fallacy?

...This...I don't think many non-Mark Leno people are going to think this is a good idea.

I must be completely out of my mind these days?  I'm not saying I've firmly established a position on this bill at all, but I don't understand why this bill is apparently so Evidently Bad that no one is even explaining why it's bad.

Yeah look at Ronald Reagan.  My parents were disgusted with his lifestyle, but what are you going to do?  I mean they were taught you get married and stay married.  They didn't approve of his swinging Hollywood marriage lifestyle.  Now you're married, oops, now you're not.  I guess Ronnie's boys out in Cali need to change the law to accommodate that kind of lifestyle.

Good grief.  This law obviously is about accommodating situations where more than two adults fulfill at least some of the responsibilities associated with parenthood.  It's not about establishing three-way marriages, or encouraging broken homes, or whatever.  If you want to argue it's a perverse incentive, sure.  But if I wanted knee-jerk reactions to news article titles, or "lol only in California jokes," I'd go to Yahoo News instead

Its about time we did away with outdated traditions like marriage and family. They cause nothing but inhibiition of people's desires.

And I'm out.

What is the point of finding a post that offends you and storming off?  Why would you respond to the worst argument (and not even respond to it!) instead of the best?  This isn't www.curmudgeoncontest.com.
