    Of course it's an answer.

    Gay people aren't going to Planned Parenthood.

    Ok, we are going around in circles now and I have grown tired of the discussion.
    You win, congratulations. My views remain unchanged.
    Cheers

    I'll need evidence of the overwhelming presence of faith based adoption only agencies in "many states". I'm not taking that at face value.

    Actually the only people suffering are the kids, as the left continues it's attack on shutting down faith based agencies.

    I guess the solution is "If I can't adopt, no one will. **** the kids."

    More likely that you have no response to what is obviously true.

    Well since you are dredging up THAT...

    How about THIS?

    An old survey (2018.), BUT Nothing Has Changed...

    ...Except, it has possibly gotten WORSE:

    University of Oxford project finds Trump supporters consume largest volume of ‘junk news’ on Facebook and Twitter

    Low-quality, extremist, sensationalist and conspiratorial news published in the US was overwhelmingly consumed and shared by rightwing social network users, according to a new study from the University of Oxford.

    The study, from the university’s “computational propaganda project”, looked at the most significant sources of “junk news” shared in the three months leading up to Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address this January, and tried to find out who was sharing them and why.

    “On Twitter, a network of Trump supporters consumes the largest volume of junk news, and junk news is the largest proportion of news links they share,” the researchers concluded. On Facebook, the skew was even greater. There, “extreme hard right pages – distinct from Republican pages – share more junk news than all the other audiences put together.”

    https://www.theguardian.com/technol...us-rightwing-study-trump-university-of-oxford

    ^So, There's That.

    Now, back On-Topic, to CNN"s Poll:

    In am overjoyed that Faux is finally taking CNN's Content as Gospel.:salute:

    Whats ironic about your article is that it proves that “state-funded foster care agency” exist (something you previously said didn’t) and that you put the religious beliefs of some above the religious beliefs of others.

    It also mentions “The latest version of the playbook, from 2018, includes 148 pages of strategy, talking points and model language for legislators designed to push laws that instill Judeo-Christian principles in public schools and other governmental institutions” which shows the religious right is not about religious freedom, they are for their version of Sharia Law.

    Thanks for the link.

    I agree states should stay out of it but publicly funded should more or less be able to do what they want.

    Federal spousal benefits like social security if one partner dies? Or on taxes?

    It doesn't prove a damn thing.

    There is no such thing as a private state funded faith based care agency.

    Better to put the kids on the streets than offend a gay person I guess.

    He was successfully impeached... and then acquitted

    Who makes that argument? That's like somebody getting arrested, and then the charges dropped or the state failing to get a guilty verdict.

    Who cares about the arrest at that point?

    Publicly funded (ie taxpayer funded) should be able to do what they want?
    I disagree, there are certain conditions that should come with accepting taxpayer funds.

    It is mostly spousal benefits like healthcare.
    Although the rest have been tried.

    Impeachment is not a civil or criminal trial.

    And who cares? History does. For the remainder of the American empire trump will remain the third impeached president in our nation.
    If it is like the rest of the impeached presidents — acquittal will be buried and irrelevant.

    I used to look at impeachment as a bad thing. Now the democrats have changed the meaning of yet another word, and now impeachment means "an opposing party knew it couldn't win elections, so they tried to pull a political stunt to take back the whitehouse". I think what the democrats really accomplished is to make impeachment meaningless, and history will now look more kindly on other presidents that have been impeached, because it is no longer necessarily a bad thing anymore. Way to go democrats, always changing the traditional meanings of words.

    I did. Trump is talking about American greatness and going to Mars.

    And this Governor is talking about potholes.

    Meanwhile Detroit and Flint look like Sarajevo in 1992.

    Trump connects with us and we connect with Trump.

    He goes to bat for the country-and dems hate that.

    I read that the SOTU had close to a 90% approval amongst independents.

    Trump is hitting dems hard.

    which is why a business open to the public can not discriminate

    but if one wants to discriminate based on race, gender or religion in who they personally marry themselves, they can

    hey, wait a minute. I am a foster care provider.

    First, the benefits go to the child.

    Second, my foster child's best bud is the biological child (of one) of a lesbian couple's crew, the other three being adopted. They even used a church program for training and internship before receiving their state issued license.

    I challenge this notion that same sex couples are barred from the process.
