Same-sex adoption is particularly against a child's best interests if the mother is excluded
Shas welfare minister Yaakov Margi is against same-sex adoptions, which the Israeli left predictably wants to foist upon children:
Anyway, it's certainly reprehensible if the mother is excluded from connections with the son and daughter, because that's denying the child an understanding of their exact origins, and it's also insulting to women and motherhood. Tragically, that's something the far-left's been hell-bent on destroying as well these days.
Welfare Minister Ya’akov Margi said Thursday in a response to a High Court petition against the Child Adoption Law that affording same-sex couples adoption rights is against a child’s best interests.Oh, really? Sounds like Times of Israel's up to their old PC antics again, because this kind of 5th column ideology's oh-so important to them. They refuse to consider there's perverts out there who're exploiting these issues for preying upon children, and the very practice itself can run the gauntlet of making it difficult for children to understand and relate to the opposite sex. And I'm not forgetting that even insular religious communities like the Haredis themselves have blame to shoulder for leading to situations like this, including damage to the mother's status.
The petition, filed by civil and LGBTQ rights organizations and several same-sex couples, calls for broadening the interpretation of the current adoption law so that it includes same-sex couples among the exceptions to the rule that only married heterosexual couples can adopt a child.
The law only allows exceptions in cases in which the child’s parents died and the adopting parent is an unmarried close relative, or if the adopting parent’s partner is the child’s biological parent or had previously adopted the child. The High Court of Justice has recognized a loophole in the law by allowing same-sex partners of a biological parent to adopt the child.
In her response to the petition, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara said that the ideal way to solve the issue is through Knesset legislation, though this is currently politically infeasible.
Nevertheless, Baharav-Miara wrote in her response that there are reasonable interpretations of the law that grant same-sex couples adoption rights.That Ohana's a right-winger is no excuse, and his adherence to the ideology is a disgrace no matter one's political leanings. He could set a much better example by showing a willingness to practice leading a heterosexual relation as well, yet he still sticks to what he does, and it's sad.
Margi, from the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, insisted that the current law should not be amended or reinterpreted because allowing a child to be adopted by a same-sex couple would be against the child’s best interests.
According to the welfare minister, allowing children to be adopted by a same-sex couple “would add additional complexities to their lives” and the government should “preserve as much as possible the lifestyle and family framework in which they were born.”
In February, an opposition bill granting same-sex couples adoption rights was voted down. Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, who is openly gay, was the only coalition member to vote for the bill.
Anyway, it's certainly reprehensible if the mother is excluded from connections with the son and daughter, because that's denying the child an understanding of their exact origins, and it's also insulting to women and motherhood. Tragically, that's something the far-left's been hell-bent on destroying as well these days.
