Faith-Based Adoption Agencies Are Under Siege in the US


(Worthy News) – United States Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke is under fire for criticizing a law that allows faith-based adoption agencies to turn away same-sex couples.

He told a crowd at a rally in Austin, Texas there are “30,000 kids in the foster care system —a foster care system so under-resourced that recently kids were sleeping on top of or underneath the desks in CPS (Child Protective Services) offices—in this state, they say that under the guise of religious liberty that you can be too gay to adopt one of those children who needs a loving home.”

O’Rourke was referring to a 2017 law called House Bill 3859. The law prohibits religious agencies from being “required to provide any service that conflicts with the provider’s sincerely held religious beliefs.” [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
