The state should promote no such thing, the State is not my mother nor my priest. That said, they need to stop promoting the opposite immediately, especially with my money.
Disagree. By virtue of its existence as an entity that has an appropriate place in the lives of men, the State SHOULD promote that children be raised by a mother and father.
If the world ends and you are left totally alone and bereft, then you may deem that the State is useless. Until then, we are a community of laws, endowed by our Creator with the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
