Scott Jennings: "If I can’t trust you not to put a boy in a teenage girl’s locker room, how will I ever listen to your plan for taxes and the economy? ... I will not, because I’ve already concluded you’re a lunatic."
The moral problem with gay adoption/surrogacy is very similar to the moral problem with abortion — both put the desires and choices of adults above the needs, rights, and well-being of children. It's not any more complicated than that.
I support birthright citizenship. I mean actual birthright citizenship. My children -- who were born in this country to American parents, who have ancestors who've fought in every war since the 1700s, who are tied to this land by blood and heritage -- have a birthright. A birthright to live in the country that was built for them, enjoying the safety and security and prosperity that their ancestors intended to pass down to them. That's the only kind of birthright we should be talking about.
On the other hand, the child of an illegal immigrant, whose parents showed up 10 seconds ago to exploit a loophole, who have no ties to this country or even any real affection for it or loyalty to it, has no birthright here. The birthright belongs to my children. Not the illegal immigrant's child. It's completely insane how we've flipped the concept of "birthright" upside down.
