Amazing. Especially amazing that Arkansas, a poor state, would deny family life to children in state care. No state agency can do for a child what a loving parent can. Children see when an adult supports them, when an adult presents the child’s interest as more important than their own. All these kids want is somebody who cares about them, a place and people to call home. And I would guess that nothing will change the mind of the current Arkansas attorney general. This is worse than any of the scheming seen in divorce court. Truly evil.

Arkansas is not alone. Florida has had this kind of law on the books for years and the courts have so far not acted to find it unconstitutional.

Yes TJNV, but you are missing the point. Laws like this have NOTHING to do with kids.

These initiatives are dreamed up by people who are obsessed with finding more and more ways to put a governmental, institutional stamp on gays as “unfit,unworthy, not as good as and just plain bad”.

They’ve pretty much run out of states to do the marriage thing in, this is going to be they’re next “we must protect this from the dirty gays” issue.

Get ready, they’ll be bringing these throughout the country.

After that. Who knows what? They’ll think of endless crazy things to take away and tarnish us with. I guarantee they will eventually make their way to trying to pass bans on Lesbians getting IVF and gay men donating their gay dna filled seed.

Mark my words. Pray for key openings in the federal courts while Obama is in power.

Things like Act One, are so hateful. Created by people who want to live in a fanasty world that, first most people are responsible about procreation, second that there are enough of these perfect “church going” Man & Woman stable couples that want to adopt what in trurth are other people mistakes.
Turns out that many gays are willing to adopt special needs kids. But because of this stupid “values voters” idealogy, many of these poor kids that did not ask to be born to STRAIT people that cannot control their urges or maintain a stable life, will stay in foster and group homes. Many kids will be denied loving homes. Which rational science has shown to be best for all children.
And yes best of all this will increase the number of prison cells this state will need to have. Act One is cruel and makes no sense in the real world.
