It’s about the kids Arkansas Times

It’s all on the table now. Occasional protests to the contrary, the ultra-right fundamentalists at the ”Family” Council now make it clear that their initiated act to limit adoption and foster is about punishing people, no more or less. If it hurts children, they don’t care.

The state’s recent hearing about dropping a blanket ban against unmarried couples as foster parents was just a sham, the religionists say. The overwhelming testimony from foster parents, foster children and medical and social service professionals? It can’t hold a candle to homophobia.

Don’t be confused. The state wants to follow a policy in which – on a case by case basis and considering every possible factor, including a potential family – the best decision will be made for a child. If putting the interest of children first is the “ agenda,” as the “Family” Council puts it, sign me up. It’s one helluva lot more compassionate than the hateful agenda they’re peddling.
