Romney Vows Waiver for Law

“Romney Vows Waiver for Law” Kimberly Atkins, The Boston Herald

“Calling state laws that led Catholic Charities to cease all adoption services to avoid serving same-sex couples ‘deeply disturbing and a threat to religious freedom,’ Gov. Mitt Romney vowed to file a bill exempting religious groups from the gay-adoption requirement.”

 

“Romney in, Memphis Tenn, called it ‘a sad day for neglected and abandoned children. It is a mistake for our laws to put the rights of adults over the needs of children,’ Romney said in a written statement.”

 

“Romney’s bill would create a legal waiver from state nondiscrimination laws so religious organizations could exclude gay couples from adoptions they arrange. But lawmakers promised a fight.”
