Discussion: Texas AG Says 'It Does Not Matter' If Gay Marriage Benefits Children

How high is the cliff?

I don’t get it. Two people who are gay and get married will actually make out of wedlock pregnancies worse? WHAT THE WHAT? And I am married with no children and straight. Am I a BURDON to the state? Is my marriage valid. DICK!

“He said the state also wants to keep individuals from having kids out of wedlock, which he also believes a gay marriage ban will further.”

But that supposed problem is solved if they are permitted to have kids in wedlock, isn’t it?  More gay wedlocks improves the out-of-wedlock problem that Abbot’s solution would actually make worse.

Of course it doesn’t matter, he has an agenda to promote. Screw the kids.
Greg Abbot got where he is largely because of the Americans with Disabilities Act, but he would undo such things for anyone else.
He is a selfish man, as all conservatives are.

Indeed. To borrow from another frequently used description of conservatives: “he wants to pull the ramp up so nobody can follow him once he’s rolled his way to the top.”

This nitwit’s the next Fine Governor of the Great State. And you thought Bush and Perry were lightweights.

Obummer’s America.

Some might even point a semi-automatic rifle at JC’s forehead and tell Him: “Step back across the border, or I will fucking kill you!”

Spoken like a true troglodyte.

I…I have no words. Stupid is alive and well in Texas.

Shorter Abbott:

Children do not matter

That’s a plank in the GOP platform, if I’m not mistaken…

should paraplegics be banned from marrying? assuming his dick doesn’t work that is. i mean he can’t procreate, right?. should the infertile be banned from marriage? just asking some questions based on abbott logic.

Is this guy even a lawyer? I heard more rational, cogent arguments from dead squid. It doesn’t matter if it does it as long as you believe it does it? What kind of reasoning is that? Even somebody who fails the LSAT can come up with better logic than that.

The state wants to keep individuals from having children out of wedlock? What business is that of the State?

This guy is a complete clown-car driver, and likely doesn’t even have a license from the Cracker Jack box. How do they find people this Stupid to run for office? Worse yet, why do they elect them.

Heartless bastard for the way he thinks of children. Is this not child abuse?

Oh, high enough. :wink:

Greg, it’s not rational and that is one messed up “legal” argument. Abbott is consistently heartless.

No surprise he’s completely backward about this. Familial relations are considered a fundamental right. When a right is fundamental, the government has the burden of proving that its law infringing that right is necessary to achieve a compelling government interest and that it’s narrowly tailored to achieve that interest. Abbott is pretending that the right involved is not fundamental and thus the rational basis test only need be met, meaning the party challenging the law has to show that there is no rational relationship between the law and its supposed goal. Governments can always come up with some hand-waving claim about how a law will achieve its desired outcome; Abbott is doing that hand waving here.

Kiss of death. In real life Widmark was quite liberal in his poltics.

Aw Jeebus darr!
That is justsospot-onhilarious.

Read it. Laughed so loud aloud.
Mama asked ‘what was that about?’

She was amused.
That’s a good night.
