Title: DOJ: Children Do Not Need—and Have No Right to--Mothers

(CNSNews.com) - The Obama Justice Department is arguing in the United States Supreme Court that children do not need mothers.


The Justice Department’s argument on the superfluity of motherhood is presented in a brief the Obama administration filed in the case of Hollingsworth v. Perry, which challenges the constitutionality of Proposition 8, the California ballot initiative that amended California’s Constitution to say that marriage involves only one man and one woman.

The Justice Department presented its conclusions about parenthood in rebutting an argument made by proponents of Proposition 8 that the traditional two-parent family, led by both a mother and a father, was the ideal place, determined even by nature itself, to raise a child.

The Obama administration argues this is not true. It argues that children need neither a father nor a mother and that having two fathers or two mothers is just as good as having one of each.

That flies in the face of almost all studies that have been done.  Democraps are the party of feelings, not science.

Bull pucky.   :mad:

Why doesn't someone ask someone who was raised by same sex partners.

The children of same-sex couples have a tough road ahead of them—I know, because I have been there. The last thing we should do is make them feel guilty if the strain gets to them and they feel strange.

I've long seen liberalism as attempts to alter a core value(like children doing better and needing both mom and dad) and then trying to FORCIBLY manage the natural outcomes of pushing through the altered core value(in this case, forcing acceptance by way of everything being called 'bullying', hate crime laws for even daring to challenge the altered value, all kinds of bennies so people feel good). They know it isn't natural and right; really that's not the issue, but they so badly for whatever reason think they can recreate the wheel. In almost every liberal I've seen a lack of humility and a 'God complex' so it's not surprising that they actually think they can work AGAINST human nature.

Weird.

When I've argued in the past against gay adoption I've stated that the best solution is 1 mother and 1 father unless the interlocutor could demonstrate which parent was unnecessary.

I was told everytime that I as exaggerating the context of the debate.

To Barack Obama, I can see why he would believe having more than one parent in the home is unneccessary. 

Unfortunately, not everyone has wealthy grandparents to foot the bill for their upbringing and private-school educations.

Limbaugh has this problem, every time he tries to illustrate absurdity by being absurd.
