ACLU Challenges Catholic Charities Exclusionary Adoption and Foster Care Policies on Behalf of Children in DCFS Care
Catholic Charities policy of providing state-funded adoption and foster care services in a fashion that excludes same sex couples does significant harm to children in the custody of the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and discriminates against same-sex couples who desire to act as foster or adoptive parents. These arguments are the focal point of a filing by the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, which moved late Friday (July 29, 2011) to intervene in a case brought by four Catholic Charities agencies (from Joliet, Springfield, Peoria and Belleville).
Note: This is getting ridiculous. I have nothing against gays, nor do I have anything against them adopting children when it's the best thing for the child, but I also have nothing against Catholic's nor do I have any problem with married couples adopting children when it's really the best thing for the child. They should all learn to co-exist without trampling on each others rights or beliefs.
The ACLU should be just as concerned with protecting the religious freedoms and beliefs of the Catholics as they are with the freedom to choose your own lifestyle.
To each his own.
