Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Oh yes, let's not let those loose women have an abortion, but let's forbid two loving people from adopting. I don't just happen to be gay, but I do just happen to care about eveyones rights! -- Speak Up, Take the Poll Dear Friend, Please take this opportunity to be heard on a very important issue. Today's Kentucky Post is doing an online poll asking: " Should states make it illegal for gay parents to adopt children? " http://news.kypost.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?Category=NEWS02 Laws that ban gay people from becoming foster and adoptive parents are of critical importance to the LGBT community, because labeling a group of people unfit to parent is an attack on their very humanity. Every mainstream health and child welfare organization, including: Child Welfare League of America American Academy of Pediatrics American Psychological Association has issued policies opposing restrictions on same sex parenting. These groups are not driven by political beliefs but by scientific evidence and widely accepted standards that guide how to assess and deliver what children need. Misconceptions and stereotypes about LGBT parents are especially harmful when they are used to deny children the chance to grow up in a loving, secure family. Take the poll! It's quick, painless, and part of the public discourse in which we must participate to have influence. http://news.kypost.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?Category=NEWS02 " When the power of love becomes stronger than the love of power, we will have peace.
