These rights include automatic hospital visitation rights, the ability to make emergency medical decisions for partners, the ability to share a room in a nursing home, adoption and parental rights, pension benefits, inheritance rights, and the right to dispose of a partner's remains, the governor's office said.

  Why wouldn't they have these rights to begin with? If they are a married couple like any other they should have the same rights.

It gives them the rights that other families have when it comes to their six-year-old daughter and two-year-old son, they told CNN affiliate WLS.

  I bet a lot of homosexual families really appreciate this law because it gives them all the rights of a regular family without the hassle.

  This is strange because even though his job is supposed to defend her it is obvious that it does not matter if she was a good mother even though that is better than her being a bad mother if the baby was kidnapped.

"She was always mean to her, making her do things. It was more of an aggressive, ignorant way, like telling her, 'Get your ass over there, and clean that s- -t up.' I'd be like, 'Geez, why do you have to talk to her like that?' "

  I do not understand the point of her kidnapping the child to then treat her that way. It would of made sense if she didnt have any kids and she wanted the love of a child but that wasnt the case.

The heinous kidnapping came after Pettway allegedly suffered several miscarriages. And she was desperate at the time to have a baby with her then-boyfriend, afraid he would ditch her if she didn't, one of her cousins has said

  I feel like her reasons were not valid i understand some women have children to keep their boyfriends but that's not the best reason she could have adopted a child.
