Just Say No to Republican Adoption

Ron Reports:

State Senator Robert Hagan (D-Ohio) says he will introduce legislation to ban Republican couples from adopting children. According to Hagan, "credible research'' shows that adopted children raised in GOP 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." Hagan agrees there is no scientific evidence backing his claims about Republican parents -- just, as Hagan notes, there is none backing State Representative Ron Hood's (R) bill banning gay parents from adopting. Hood claims children purportedly suffer from emotional "harm" when they are adopted by gay couples.

As somebody who was raised by Republicans and understands the scars that can leave, I fully support this legislation. Kicking poor people, forced family trips to the shooting range, not allowed to date until I was 18, no non-white friends, and old Walton re-runs... It was awful I tell you, just awful. For the children, we cannot allow these people to adopt.
