Bill Would Block Republicans From Adopting Children
One Ohio lawmaker has come up with a clever way to protest the introduction of an anti-gay adoption bill -- but Log Cabin Republicans might not appreciate it.

In a joking memo sent to his fellow Ohio Senate members Wednesday, outspoken liberal Sen. Robert Hagan seeks sponsors for a bill that would ban households with one or more Republican voters from adopting children or acting as their foster parents.

"Credible research exists that strongly suggests that adopted children raised in Republican households, though significantly wealthier than their Democrat-raised counterparts, are more at risk for developing emotional problems, social stigmas, inflated egos, an alarming lack of tolerance for others they deem different than themselves, and an air of overconfidence to mask their insecurities, " Hagan wrote.

1. Excellent
and if "christians" were really serious about maintaining the sanctity of marriage they would work for the banning of divorce. Please do not hold your breath.

Isn't the whole point of "Christ"ianity to live as Christ taught? I will never understand how the Christian-right got so far off track.
