Well, one thing to take into consideration is abortion. I have talked to several people who said that they would have considered adoption over abortion IF they wouldn't have had to worry about the adoption agency placing the child with a gay couple instead of a decent, normal family. There are a growing group of people out there who will not rule out abortion until gay adoption is stopped. So, in that sense, more babies could be saved by outlawing gay adoption.

"I have talked to several people who said that they would have considered adoption over abortion IF they wouldn't have had to worry about the adoption agency placing the child with a gay couple instead of a decent, normal family."
First, I don't believe you've heard that from several people, at least, not several people whom you haven't primed and manipulated into saying such a thing.
Second, who gets to define what is "decent" and what is a "normal family?" You? I don't think so, asswipe.
"who will not rule out abortion until gay adoption is stopped."
I read that as, who will not rule out abortion until gay abortion is stopped, and it was so much funnier that way!
So, um, you're actually saying there's a "growing number of people" living and acting under a banner that essentially says "Stop gay adoption or the little fucker gets it"? Pray tell, of what caliber might those numbers be? Thousands? Millions? Hundreds of millions? Any other similar number you fundies are so good at pulling out of your ass?
According to my recent scientific studies*, there's a growing number of people who are such complete idiots, I'm talking retards, clinically, with whom the universe has a pretty rough time dealing and not collapsing into itself at the same time.
* - May or may not be actual scientific studies, heavy liver damage may occur.
After perusing many anti-abortion/gay/bi/trans/this/that opinions and whatnot, I have come to the conclusion that it's less about 'saving the children' and more about imposing one set of people's version of morality on everyone else, in the secure knowledge that success in imposing means a lot of political, social, hierarchical, financial and manipulative power for the imposer(s). It stinks like a wet kipper on a hot day.
Justin, by that logic, that most certainly means I am indeed a zombie princess. A stupid name does not make instant Poe. There are many fundies with these views or something similar.
"There are a growing group of people out there who will not rule out abortion until gay adoption is stopped."
And this proves something beyond the fact that these are terrible intolerant people....how?
Wait, aren't these the same people arguing that an abortion is akin to murder? They would rather murder someone than let them live in/around a gay lifestyle?
Well, Im glad they're finally being honest about SOME things now...
Yanno, Rupert, according to your standards, I had a 'decent' and 'normal' family (a mommie dearest, and paternal unit), and I was lucky to have survived, so you can just go pound sand.
Women who chose to terminate their pregnancies, it has nothing to do with who is gonna adopt should they choose to carry to term. Saying so just make you look like a blithering ass.
I do not believe this for a second.
But if it were true, that anti-gay fundies are choosing abortion over adoption, what about the bible story of wise king solomon and the two prostitutes fighting over the baby? The true mother was willing to let her baby go to the other woman (the evil, lying, terrible baby-switcher), than risk it being cut in half.
The women choosing abortion over adoption are simply the ones who, for whatever reason, do not want to be pregnant.
Being anti-gay has nothing to do with their decision.
So, what about black adoptions? I know there are plenty of bigots who don't want their little Junior taken in by none o' them darkie families, and might abort their kid for that reason too.
Should we just ban anyone from adopting who isn't white? I know it's discriminatory, but WILL SOMEONE PLEEZ THINK OF TEH CHILDRENZ!?
What a fucking ridiculous line of argument - stupidest I've ever heard on this subject. You likely claim abortion is evil, and yet you allow "murderers" off the hook because their acts preserve the fetus against a future of being raised by a gay couple?
There's no nice way to put this, so I'm going to come right out and say it: You, sir, are a complete and utter moron. I'm surprised you have enough brain power to breathe without assistance.
Somehow I think you are full of shit and I doubt every single fucking word you just posted has an ounce of truth in it. If you are opposed to gay marriage and abortion, just say so, don't come with this nonsense that makes you sound like an idiot, even if you are one.
Umn... this is why we favor something called "open adoption," where a woman chooses the family for her child, instead of being arbitrarily decided by some agency employee.
Oh, and you know what? Some women CHOOSE to place their children with gay couples. That's how Dan Savage, otherwise known as my idol, has a son. :D
So let me get this straight... you were talking to a PREGNANT woman whose CHRISTIAN values were so strong that had she known for sure the baby would go to a STRAIGHT couple, she wouldn't have had an ABORTION... Rupert, you made this up didn't you?
No, not aborted. Rupert here should have been a blow job.
Also, the obvious answer to this is that whole private adoption thing, where you pick the parents your damn self. Meaning anyone claiming they didn't do it out of fear of the baby going to some undesirables didn't even open a phone book before deciding what to do.
And they aborted long before gays could adopt. Moreover, before that, they just said that they didn't trust WHO could adopt their child, which included alcoholics, junkies, abusive parents..................no gays whatsoever.
And somebody Christian enough as not to accept gay parents would, instead, commit another, and more serious, sin as abortion to avoid another?. Doesn't make any fucking sense.
Oh no! What if the CHILD him/herself is born gay! Maybe we should abort them all instead of adopting them out, ya know? You don't want to take the chance.
So let me get this right...if someone aborts a fetus because they are afraid it may go to a gay couple, it's the fault of gay marriage/adoption, not the person who had the abortion. So now women have a reason to abort that would satisfy even you fundies, right? After all, even death is preferable to being gay since god hates that more than any other sin including killing and EATING people, for chrissake. That's why Jeffrey Dahmer is having dinner with Jesus and a gay christian who is kind to everyone and follows Christ is damned, right? You people are just fucked up beyond belief.
Abortion is not even mentioned in the Abrahamic texts.
You have NO concept of atheism. It is not a religion.
It is not a world-wide organisation, and it has no hierarchy to determine its path.
We know what is right and what is wrong, we don't slaughter the innocent because of some fucking god we've invented then actually believe it's real.
Adoptions on my side of the pond are strictly monitored.
No child goes to a home where they will be abused, and if a few slip through the net, they are swiftly found and the perpertators severly punished.
So among your conservative Christian circle are a number of folks who cop to having abortions without fear of shunning, and they mention that they'd have spared the kid's life but that they might be raised by someone with a different moral compass?
Well fark, any compass has to be better than the one that pushes "delete" on another human life just to spare it dealing with so-called sinners. Tell your friends they're callous, bigoted jerks.
" IF they wouldn't have had to worry about the adoption agency placing the child with a gay couple instead of a decent, normal family."
As long as they don't use a fundie couple it has a chance to be a decent normal family.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
