Tuesday, March 12, 2002 11:35 AM Fetuses and ILLEGAL Immigrants get money, Domestic Partners NO??? What's this about domestic partners getting screwed by the find while FETUSES ad **ILLEGAL** Aliens are allowed? Don't gave that ridiculous excuse about "State law"; it's quite apparent that most state laws do not award domestic partners survivors' benefits and that is simply a way of sidestepping the real issue, which is discrimination. If you're so concerned about state law, please note that most state laws would NOT allow ILLEGAL aliens to receive money. Try again wtih your logic. And I also don't think any state gives fetuses the same status as living people. You conveniently managed to ignore the laws on these two classes, then claim that "State law" keeps you from awarding survivors' beneftis to domestic partners. Well, nobody is fooled by this ridiculous discrimination. I hope you will stop to consider the hundreds of people who are just as hurt and "up the creek" financially having lost a domestic partner (who in may cases was the breadwinner) as a fetus who wasn't even born on 9/11 to a parent they can't miss since they never knew them. At least be consistent in your awards: if you're going to follow laws, the ILLEGAL Aliens and fetuses are not eligible; if you can sidestep the law for them, of course you can do so for domoestic partners. Those folks pay the taxes that comprise this fund, too.
