    Same-Sex Marriage Judge Finds That a Child Has Neither a Need Nor a Right to a Mother

    Monday, August 09, 2010
    By Terence P. Jeffrey, Editor-in-Chief

    (CNSNews.com) - U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker, who ruled last week that a voter-approved amendment to California’s constitution that limited marriage to the union of one man and one woman violated the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, based that ruling in part on his finding that a child does not need and has no right to a mother.

    This is a case of lying with headlines and title. The decision says no such thing.

    The decision was that a child has no right to be raised by his biological mother. If the child had a right to be raised by a biological mother then no child could legally be adopted and all children without qualified biological parents must be raised by the state. Is this what you all have in mind?

    It's evident you didn't read Walker's finding of facts.

    “Children do not need to be raised by a male parent and a female parent to be well-adjusted, and having both a male and a female parent does not increase the likelihood that a child will be well-adjusted,” the judge wrote in finding of fact No. 71 in his opinion.

    “The gender of a child’s parent is not a factor in a child’s adjustment,” the judge stated in finding of fact No. 70. “The sexual orientation of an individual does not determine whether that individual can be a good parent. Children raised by gay or lesbian parents are as likely as children raised by heterosexual parents to be healthy, successful and well-adjusted. The research supporting this conclusion is accepted beyond serious debate in the field of developmental psychology.”


    The statements seem clear to me. Children need human parents. Adopted parents are fine.

    Meaning they don't need a mom.

    What is it about that that you don't understand?

    Don't try to change the subject.

    What I say is not the issue. The subject is what this idiot of a judge said.

    Another jewel from this idiot judge:


    “Religious beliefs that gay and lesbian relationships are sinful or inferior to heterosexual relationships harm gays and lesbians,”

    The judge wasn't writing for ESL Baptists.
