In California,
it is entirely legal to create a family without a mother. The state’s legal framework for Assisted Reproduction allows a single man to be the sole legal parent from the moment of birth, effectively "erasing" any maternal legal claim.
While a biological mother (egg donor) and a gestational mother (surrogate) are physically necessary to create the child, they have no legal relationship to the child under California law if the proper steps are followed.

We have plenty of roads looking like that during holidays so not actually only in the USA.  Mind you I'd love to have visited there!

A cop pulls over a little old lady and asks for her licence and registration.
When she pulls out her wallet, he sees a handgun in her purse. “Ma'am, is that a gun in your purse?” “Yes, Officer, it’s a .38 Smith & Wesson revolver.”

“Please place that purse on the passenger seat, Ma'am, and don’t make any sudden moves towards it. Do you have any other weapons I should know about?”

“Well, there’s a Colt 1911 automatic in the glove compartment…” “Okay, let’s stay away from that side of the car. Anything else?” “I got a .22 Derringer in my bra, but it’s just a little peashooter. Wouldn’t hurt a fly.”

The cop sighs, and asks, “Do you have any other weapons on you?” “What do you mean by ‘on me’?” “Ma'am, do you have any other weapons? Just tell me.”

“Okay, there’s a Mossberg 12 gauge pump action and an AK-47 in the trunk.”

The cop pauses for a moment.  "Ma'am, you have a revolver, a derringer, an automatic pistol, a shotgun, and an assault rifle, What are you so afraid of?"

"Not a darn  thing.””

For the benefit of the dummies. That is the traffic into Yosemite National Park. Therefore if comparisons are made they should be to other national parks, not to peak hour city traffic.

On the busiest summer weekends and holidays, visitors have reported being stuck in their cars for up to four hours at peak times. 

Ah, the great outdoors.
