It’s not a terribly compelling argument to tell a pregnant teenager to choose life only to then deny kids in need the parents who want them.īut Trump’s call is still correct. But even if a religious person doesn’t acknowledge a same-sex marriage as legitimate, why would that prevent them from gifting a child with two loving parents? Surely religious people ought not to discriminate against single parents, and even more importantly, adoption agencies should be at the front line of the anti-abortion cause. It’s one thing to decline to perform a same-sex wedding or even refuse to acknowledge a same-sex marriage. On a personal level, the notion of barring a loving, gay couple from adopting a child while nearly half a million children languish in foster care just feels like a grave evil.
