There's a well-documented difference in risk of abuse between these two groups, so grouping them together unfairly stigmatizes adoptive parents.<br /><br />Still, if slandering adoptive parents is what Maggie has to do to keep gays in their place, that's what she'll do. <br /><br />http://wakingupnow.com/blog/war-on-adoptive-parentsRob Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06805401173549033322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-86294995764239565462010-02-01T05:39:49.759-08:002010-02-01T05:39:49.759-08:00It is not in the least bit "unfair" to l...It is not in the least bit "unfair" to label Mags a bigot. Other than bigotry, what other motive does she have for being so consistantly dishonest?<br />I also have difficulty understanding her line of reasoning, which seems to go like this:<br />Heterosexual parents are superior to gay parents, therefore we should deny couples from getting married...whether they have kids or not?<br />Wait, that doesn't make sense.<br />Or is she saying: <br />the only people who should be allowed to get married are couples with kids, and therefore all childless couples shouldn't be allowed to get married?<br />No, wait, THAT can't be right.<br />Let me try again:<br />We can accurately predict whether a couple plans to have kids before they mar...<br />No, that doesn't make sense either..<br />We should require a fertility test for all couples before they get...<br />No, we've never had that before, and mandating it would fall into the category of "redefining marriage", which she's so terrified of.<br />Okay, maybe it's this:<br />"Marriage is about children, but ONLY in those instances when we decide it matters."<br />Is that about right?Bill Snoreply@blogger.com
