Ohio lawmaker to propose ban on GOP adoption

Well, I guess this is one way to make a point.

 

If an Ohio lawmaker's proposal becomes state law, Republicans would be barred from being adoptive parents.

 

State Sen. Robert Hagan sent out e-mails to fellow lawmakers late Wednesday night, stating that he intends 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." The e-mail ended with a request for co-sponsorship.

 

On Thursday, the Youngstown Democrat said he had not yet found a co-sponsor.

 

Hagan said his "tongue was planted firmly in cheek" when he drafted the proposed legislation. However, Hagan said that the point he is trying to make is nonetheless very serious.

 

Hagan said his legislation was written in response to a bill introduced in the Ohio House this month by state Rep. Ron Hood, R-Ashville, that is aimed at prohibiting gay adoption.

 

"We need to see what we are doing," said Hagan, who called Hood's proposed bill blatantly discriminatory and extremely divisive. Hagan called Hood and the eight other conservative House Republicans who backed the anti-gay adoption bill "homophobic."

And I really don't care I might just suprise you.

I believe the Filibuster was created entirely so that people like Minors could have a place to chime in alongside people like me, where both of us can make arses of ourselves without being banned.

Unfortunately you are dead on right... I guess we have a place where even the Timos of posting can hang out...
