So I take it there aren't a lot of Christians or married people in Texas?

Texas Republicans pushed the state closer to a law that allows publicly-funded foster care and adoption agencies to refuse to place children with non-Christian, unmarried or gay prospective parents because of religious objections.

Many Texas adoption agencies admit they don't work with adoptive parents who are single, gay or non-Christian, and the bill could keep them from being sued. Supporters of the measure say LGBT couples will be able to find agencies without religious objections, but critics call is state-funded discrimination.

Is that the reason why there are about 15,000 children "in the system" in Texas? There are no people there who fit their narrow definition of what it means to be worthy of having a family?

2. Limit access to birth control, get rid of choice

Only let their "idea" of what a parent "should be" adopt. These kids are doomed in Texas. If they want to do this and be a privately funded org, it's their business, if they take funding from tax dollars, it is not ok in anyway. Texas Republicans can F off.
