It's a non sequitur, you are comparing a case in Texas with a totally different case, with different circumstances, in Texas. That's like saying "a cop got fired for beating up a citizen, therefore all cops should get fired"

Why do most lesbian couples adopt little girls and most gay couples adopt little boys? Pretty disturbing if you ask me.

This goes to show if there's enough of a backlash to a bad call, it'll often get reversed. This is the kind of stuff that makes proud to be an American.
good news. but he should be disbarred. his job is to follow US law, not his personal beliefs or some random research. if he's incapable of doing his job, he needs to go.

Since we are generalizing here, most women I know want a little girl to raise and most men a little boy. Pretty disturbing?

because all homosexuals are really pedophiles? Is that what you are insinuating? If so, say it outright. if not, what do you mean?

By law, it should have been reversed. I'm pretty sure everyone knew this would happen.

Btw, the child had not been adopted by these women and she had only been in foster care with them for three months. Apparently that means that she belonged to them.

The couple were starting the process of adoption. It is a long process most of the time.

Utah lesbian couple speaks out on Judge Scott Johansen's order to remove baby - CBS News
Outrageous that the judge feels this infant should have both a mother and a father?

What are you, drunk?
