MEDIA RELEASE
For release: September 9, 2010
The Managing Director of the Australian Christian Lobby strongly commended the minority of NSW Parliamentarians who supported the rights of orphans and children given up for adoption to a mother and father.
“Throughout history it seems propaganda has intermittently triumphed over what is right or logical”, said Jim Wallace.
“Today is such a moment, all the sadder for the issue at stake – the best interests of the most vulnerable orphaned or relinquished children.”
“This debate has been waged by the gay and lesbian activists with smart marketing strategy, the usual deception and complete disregard for anyone else’s rights” said Mr Wallace.
“The real issue here has never been, as claimed, about children in same sex families, but the right of wards of the state to expect Government to uphold the until now timeless principle, that adoption is about children, not adults. About finding mothers and fathers for children tragically denied them – not children for adults, heterosexual or homosexual.”
“The media must also accept a large part of the responsibility for this outcome. It has been totally uncritical of the gay agenda, and by that failed to expose the real issue at stake – one that would definitely not have public support outside inner city cafes,” said Jim Wallace.
“Adoption is about children.”
Mr Wallace hoped the MPs who only narrowly missed defeating this in the Lower House because of two absences, would maintain their resolve to see that the next debate on the obvious need to regulate surrogacy, would not be used to camouflage this aggressive gay agenda yet again.
“In QLD we now have surrogacy available to even a single man,” said Mr Wallace. “Clearly this should not happen; children are not pets to be had at a whim.”
“I sincerely hope that those who have shown the moral fibre so otherwise increasingly missing in the NSW Parliament at large, will continue to uphold the real best interests of the child, without being duped by this aggressive and selfish gay rights agenda.”
“It was hard to imagine the NSW Parliament sinking even lower in the average person’s esteem, demonstrating even more lack of moral authority, but this has surely done it,” he said.
I agree that the agenda of the homosexual community is all about their perceived “rights”. Not satisfied with being who they are in anonymity, they need to be publicly acclaimed as right and justified. It seems to be grandstanding and self dramatising. It is one thing to choose a life style. It is another to try to make it a legal obligation on others to support and acclaim that choice. I do not see what advantage these legalising tactics have in real terms. Children for adoption are hard to come by for anyone. I thought that mothers to could stipulate, if they wanted, the kind of family to adopt the child. Maybe they can’t anymore. It is a sign of today’s selfish standards, that the poor, needy, weak, disenfranchised (in this case children) still, after all the centuries of “evolution”, are exploited for the deemed benefit of the strong, powerful and demandingly vocal. It is a shame!
Well said Mary.
Children are both male and female and have the right to be in a family with both males and females. Families can play an important part in any community – balanced families, with mother and father. Man was created for woman and woman for man. Why upset ‘the balance’ that was ordained for us?
Some people are not happy unless their opinions are adopted and keep harping and harping until their voices are noted. Sometimes it seems that we do not maintain our own moral values that have proved reasonably successful by bowing to the constant pressures from others. Sounds weak to me.
Agreed and well said. We can’t let these agendas which have such destructive outcomes be accepted by our politicians.
