Greene Calls Non-Biological Parents 'Fake' Amid Post-Roe Adoption Push

https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/greene-calls-non-biological-parents-fake-amid-post-roe-adoption-push/ar-AAZEehU?pc=U483&cvid=036affbeca6e469bae8c982a66dc3127


Greene, a Georgia Republican, warned about what she views as threats to children and conservative values during a discussion on her show MTG Live, which was posted to Rumble on Thursday. During the discussion, the congresswoman explained one reason she worries for children is because some are raised by "fake" parents.

"Children are in the greatest danger in America today because traditional family values are being destroyed—the idea that mom and dad together, not fake mom and fake dad, but the biological mom and biological dad, can raise their children together and do what's right for their children," she said.



****************************************

So.... women who do not wish to have babies are supposed to give birth to them so that there are enough babies for adoption... which is an absolutely terrible situation for child to be raised in.




One of my favorite metaphors to use when talking about the GOP is this, "If you spread enough sh*t around, sooner or later you're going to step in it."

That is an egregious and hurtful insult to the millions and millions of families that have adopted children.

This woman is sick and depraved.

Meanwhile, she is an odd one to talk about family values, being she's known to have openly cheated on her husband of 25 years. Clearly, she rarely thinks before opening her mouth. Probably doesn't think ever actually.

But she's insulting them anyway.
And, i know my sister did not consider them her fake parents! In fact, in her 20s she declined an invitation to meet her birth mother. Her reason: "I have a mom."
Sounds like real parents to me.

Not just retired, but nuked from orbit. It's so juvenile the way they all use it. It sounds like a fucking five-year old pretending something doesn't exist.

All we need to do for the return of the nuclear family portrayed on 1950’s television is to force people to have kids!

I say a hearty “fuck you” to MTG and will sleep soundly tonight knowing that the opinion of an idiot does not diminish my accomplishment in any way.

Amy Coney Barrett is another of those 'fake parents' Taylor Greene is trashing. And Clarence Thomas (who brought up his grandnephew).
