'Mother,' 'Father' Changing to 'Parent One,' 'Parent Two' on Passport Applications
By Todd Starnes
Published January 07, 2011 | FoxNews.com

The words “mother” and “father” will be removed from U.S. passport applications and replaced with gender neutral terminology, the State Department says.
“The words in the old form were ‘mother’ and ‘father,’” said Brenda Sprague, deputy assistant Secretary of State for Passport Services. "They are now ‘parent one’ and ‘parent two.’"
A statement on the State Department website noted: “These improvements are being made to provide a gender neutral description of a child’s parents and in recognition of different types of families.” The statement didn't note if it was for child applications only.
The State Department said the new passport applications, not yet available to the public, will be available online soon.
Sprague said the decision to remove the traditional parenting names was not an act of political correctness.
“We find that with changes in medical science and reproductive technology that we are confronting situations now that we would not have anticipated 10 or 15 years ago,” she said.
Gay rights groups are applauding the decision.  ................>>>>................>>>>.............Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/07/passport-applications-soon-gender-neutral/#ixzz1ARyqrPrL

how about Test tube #1 and Test tube #2......or foster parent #1 and foster parent #2......daddy #1 and Daddy #2.....mommy #1 and mommy #2...

you see the nullification is so that everyone will throw up their hands and just say...."tatoo my ID on my forehead so I dont have to deal with this sh!t."


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
