Republicans: Unfit to adopt

If some Ohio senators have their way, Republicans could be barred from adopting. In an email sent to colleagues, State Senator Robert Hagan (D) announced his intentions to, "introduce legislation in the near future that would ban households with one or more Republican voters from adopting children or acting as foster parents." Hagan made the announcement as a challenge to a recently introduced bill that restricted gay and lesbian couples from adopting. To further lampoon [the anti-gay adoption] bill, Hagan wrote in his mock proposal that "credible research" shows that adopted children raised in Republican households are more at risk for developing "emotional problems, social stigmas, inflated egos, and alarming lack of tolerance for others they deem different than themselves and an air of overconfidence to mask their insecurities." What a creative response to an otherwise dire situation! I mean, really, if we're hell bent on stripping away reproductive and adoptive rights, we might as well eradicate the potential for future Republicans and ridiculous legislation. Thanks Sarah!
