“I do believe that if there are children who are orphans who do not have a loving person or couple, I think if a person wants to love and raise a child they ought to be able to do that. Period,”
Not sure any right minded person would disagree with this.... IF the alternative was nothing, again IF the alternative was no loving parents at all.
Seems like folks want a reason to jump on Ryan or any “R” and then take it to the extreme.
Adoption by homosexuals is worse than nothing, i.e., foster care or orphanage.
Does this require explanation?
If he had left it at that, fine. Giving his support to Two Daddies and Two Mommies parentage?? Are you agreeing with THAT??
Ryan is (was) a Catholic.
The position of the Catholic Church is that adoption of a child by a homosexual couple / person actually does violence to that child (and I'm not even talking about possible sexual abuse):
As experience has shown, the absence of sexual complementarity in these unions creates obstacles in the normal development of children who would be placed in the care of such persons. They would be deprived of the experience of either fatherhood or motherhood. Allowing children to be adopted by persons living in such unions would actually mean doing violence to these children, in the sense that their condition of dependency would be used to place them in an environment that is not conducive to their full human development.
But that's not how it works. Gays want to get in line for the same kids that married heterosexual couples want to adopt. No "discrimination," not even the kind that arises from what any sane person would call common sense.
This right-minded person disagrees.
No mikey, most of us disagree with you and are against homosexuals adopting children.
Children raised by homosexuals have terrible, terrible problems. Many studies have shown this. Much more likely to be sexually molested, become homosexual themselves, turn to drugs/alcohol, relationship problems, behavior and school problems, etc. Why should any children be raised by mentally ill sex perverts? You think that’s a decent plan?
There are countless numbers of normal married couples wanting to adopt and there are not enough children due to abortion. So the argument that “any” “parents” are better than none is specious and deceitful of Ryan. He’s either incredibly stupid and ignorant or loathesome. I don’t care which, I thought he was a decent VP candidate and boy oh boy was I wrong.
I agree with you, Mike. I myself have not adopted a child (I have 3). There is actually an orphanage close by, and the kids there who are asking for “forever families” are heartbreaking. A couple I know from Idaho, both women, both gay, were foster parents of two little boys whose mother put their hands on the burners. So the alternative is....? back to the mom? Back to a mother who is going to have a stepdad or live in boyfriend to abuse the kids some more?
Seems like you are agreeing with Ryan. If SO -carry your ass to DU where like minded morally devoid leftists will embrace your spinelessness.
