DOJ: Children Do Not Need—and Have No Right to--Mothers March 3, 2013 By Terence P. Jeffrey
Georgetown Law School. (AP Photo/Haraz Ghanbari) (CNSNews.com) - The Obama Justice Department is arguing in the United States Supreme Court that children do not need mothers.
The Justice Department’s argument on the superfluity of motherhood is presented in a brief the Obama administration filed in the case of Hollingsworth v. Perry, which challenges the constitutionality of Proposition 8, the California ballot initiative that amended California’s Constitution to say that marriage involves only one man and one woman.
The Justice Department presented its conclusions about parenthood in rebutting an argument made by proponents of Proposition 8 that the traditional two-parent family, led by both a mother and a father, was the ideal place, determined even by nature itself, to raise a child.
The Obama administration argues this is not true. It argues that children need neither a father nor a mother and that having two fathers or two mothers is just as good as having one of each.
“The [California] Voter Guide arguably offered a distinct but related child-rearing justification for Proposition 8: 'the best situation for a child is to be raised by a married mother and father,’” said the administration’s brief submitted to the court by Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr.
“As an initial matter, no sound basis exists for concluding that same-sex couples who have committed to marriage are anything other than fully capable of responsible parenting and child-rearing,” the Department of Justice told the court. “To the contrary, many leading medical, psychological, and social-welfare organizations have issued policy statements opposing restrictions on gay and lesbian parenting based on their conclusion, supported by numerous scientific studies, that...

Very true. What's most unfortunate, is that leftists force everyone else to be dragged kicking and screaming down their trail of misery and death.
Who knows if they even realize their horrific error when they reach the inevitable end of that road?
Russia has a 13% flat tax and kids can pray in school.
I don't know much about Russia at all but this I know.
And they must be destroyed...there is no changing their thinking.
Children need both a heterosexual mother and a heterosexual father. Each sex brings their particular characteristics to the formation of the well rounded growth of a child. As the story goes, it wasn’t Adam and Steve in the Garden of Eden, it was Adam and Eve.
Totally agree with you.
We're finding out why. It's like Obamacare. Let's pass it and find out what's in it.
Your kids' schoolbooks are going to be filled with stories about Daddy and daddy going to visit other dads in San Francisco.
The sky's the limit.
God help us.
BFL!
We're conservatives, not utopians.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Live and let live. Leave well enough alone.
We understand the limitations of human nature. We're not out to reshape humanity, except by persuasion and conversion of heart.
But you're right. We have to overcome this reflex and learn to be proactive in reversing the war against society.

What will happen, with a government this evil? Obviously the status quo cannot continue for very long, with the government - supposed to be the agency protecting our rights under the Constitution - is the very personification of immorality, evil and tyranny, and represents the very lowest of vices and crimes.
Oh not this SH*T again!
Proves Obama really hated his white mommy who didn’t late term abort him.
Srry about the triplets. ANy mods around that could take one or two off? I forgot about using my trick - hit “post”, count to about 15, then hit the back button and refresh the thread, and voila - just one ping.
