It's the religious that should have their children taken. Forcing a child into an insane cult is abuse.
The child is not taken away. The non-biological mother loses her status as a parent, but the biological mother is still registered as the child's mother.
This does mean, however, that if the biological mother dies the state may take the child away from the non-biological mother.
Right so they are equal except some are more equal than others.
I'm sure you understand this already, but your idea is politically and morally equivalent to what's happening in the article. Everyone has the right to freedom of religion.
edit: Strange that people become like this when told that religious people deserve protections as a minority or protected class. I'd hoped to leave new athiest cringe behind at spez's place but apparently you can't have everything.
While I agree with you I'd also like to see freedom from religion. Very few people choose religion, they're indoctrinated as children
It is ironic that there should be freedom of religion when religion is the one taking freedom away
Not really, Christianity in the US was and continues to be a corporate funded endeavour. That doesn't make the belief system inherently bad, it's like most things that have been corrupted by moneyed interests.
edit: spelling, grammar.
Structured belief systems led by a man wearing entirely gold while telling everyone to follow the teachings of Christ is bad though. It's meant to control, specifically women and children.
The LGBT community is far less likely to force a lifestyle onto their children than the religious community is.
I have trans friends with kids. They don't even circumcise them.
Nope, just remove the brest of healty woman :)
Can you say that again, but in English?
Trans parents 'mutulate' the kids? Is that how that works?
Add another chud to the block list
