I just heard a collective, screetchy whine from those in the lesbian community who wish to adopt.

Well of course reasoning abilities are enhanced by a father in a child’s life. Women are completely unreasonable.

I thought there have also been studies that disproportionate numbers of teens and young adults who get in trouble with the law grew up without fathers, or were from broken homes. The information seems to be that fathers are important.

Gee, maybe it’s best if kids have both a father and a mother. I know that’s not politically correct to say, but maybe that’s the best situation for kids.

yep this kind of information goes against the politically correct desires to normalize homosexuality. The gay adoption issue is part and parcel of this. While there might be situations where gay people have children or are raising children, I hope we can all be honest enough to admit that there is a difference between a mother/father intact family and lesbians raising children.

Indeed this is the main argument against gay adoptions. Why on earth we would ever allow a child to be intentionally placed in an environment that we KNOW is lacking in something as critical to their welfare as a father and mother, simply to placate the perverts, is beyond me. And it’s not like there aren’t already plenty of studies telling us this, as well as good old common sense!

Where can I get grant money to perform studies like this? I’ll just publish the obvious conclusion and use the rest for an addition on the house.

Such language ("mother", "father", "husband", "wife") is banned in California as intolerant hate speech now.

Women: yes. Their children: no.

As someone who was basically raised without a father, I can assure you this study is spot on.

I was amazed at how half of the people on Biggest Loser last week had father issues as the root of their weight problems.

Really thought I had been doing pretty well by my son (7 years old) when his teacher called and was very concerned he had drawn a rat with a knife and wanted us in her office very soon - my wife said, you mean like the mouse in Ratatouille which he saw about a week earlier? The teacher said she had not thought about that.
