David Badash of The New Civil Rights Movement on an Australian Reverend who says that same sex adoption will lead to higher numbers of abortions. Snippets from the Reverend's argument:
People should not be “bludgeoned into keeping silent” because of their religious beliefs, Mr Clarke said.“This has nothing to do with religion,” he said. “This has to do with morality and the right of the child.”Addressing the packed public meeting, Christian Democratic Party leader Reverend Fred Nile said the bill could deter women thinking of adopting out their child and “lead to the tragedy of abortion”.“Any mother putting up her baby for adoption would never imagine that their baby would be brought up by two male homosexuals or two female lesbians,” he said.“Is this really an ideological issue or homosexuals demanding yet another human right?“We should discuss the human rights of the adopted child who has a basic human right to have a male and female parent.”
