DOJ: Children Do Not Need—and Have No Right to--Mothers

The Obama Justice Department is arguing in the United States Supreme Court that children do not need mothers.

The Justice Department’s argument on the superfluity of motherhood is presented in a brief the Obama administration filed in the case of Hollingsworth v. Perry, which challenges the constitutionality of Proposition 8, the California ballot initiative that amended California’s Constitution to say that marriage involves only one man and one woman.

The Justice Department presented its conclusions about parenthood in rebutting an argument made by proponents of Proposition 8 that the traditional two-parent family, led by both a mother and a father, was the ideal place, determined even by nature itself, to raise a child.

Hollingsworth v. Perry has nothing to do with prop 8, it is suit about DOMA. Obviously the author has no idea what they are talking about, but loves to spead lies.

Uh, so is the flip side of this argument that fathers do not matter?

Clearly fathers do not matter in America. Fore fathers, real fathers... Look At Obama.

How far do they have to go in every aspect and corner of our lives BEFORE "we, the people" say 'enough!'? Mothers are not necessary? Really? And they can actually say that - and argue that position in a court brief!! - with a straight face! Ernestly! How much control will you give them? You kbow how much they want. THEIR idea of "control" is, quite clearly, broad and all-encompassing. Give them enough and you won't have much say in "control", if at all, and not much say in anything really. And STILL you clap and cheer. Imagine how the millions who wildly cheeered Hitler in 1939 felt in 1945. You know what I'm sayin'....
