Plot

After the events of the first film, Ted and Tami-Lynn marry one another and ask John to be a sperm donor so that they can have a child together. Complications arrive however as they discover they can not proceed as the government does not recognize Ted as an equal member of human society, due to his status as a teddy bear. Ted and John then begin a court case to sue the government for Ted's civil rights.
