The problem with that argument is it is a 100% pure appeal to emotion. It is also begging the question.
This is not about whether the child is better off. I will ask you the same question I have asked others. How would you feel if this were two (or one) homosexual men who did the adopting? Certainly the child is better off being raised by to flaming liberal gay men than where she was right? What about all the illegal alien kids here in America. They are clearly better off no?
It is exactly the “its for the children” argument that is one of the biggest evils of liberalism and has gotten us into so much trouble.
Look, I’m sorry, but as a man and a father I have seen the role of fatherhood and a strong male in the family marginalized to the point of meaninglessness in our society. Laura CLAIMED she too saw this problem..and said that it was a problem...a major problem..and then she went out and validated the choice! can you not see how one could see this as cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy?
I am a man and a father. I see this woman making a statement to the whole world that in the successful raising of this child no man is required. No father figure is necessary.
So one more question, if I may - how can anyone ever again take her comments on fathers in society seriously?
So apparently you are one of those who thinks the perfect should stand in the way of the good. Since Laura isn’t married, that child should still be in an orphanage waiting for a perfect family to come.
It’s a good thing she’s doing. It’s not perfect. Maybe the child will have a father some day. Even if she doesn’t, maybe when she grows up, you can ask her if she would like for Laura never to have rescued her.
Your question is pure sophistry. Laura is not one or two flaming homosexual men. She’s not Rosie O’Doughnuts and her “wife”. People are individuals. Every situation is different. Be happy for the kid and for Laura. She doesn’t need the holier-than-thou crowd second guessing her.
Until more heterosexual couples step up and take in children from orphanages singles like Laura will have to take up the slack and give these children homes. I guarantee that if every heterosexual couple signed up for the foster care program here in the US and took in one or more children there would be no children left to go to homosexual couples.
