Yo, “Christians”! Here’s Your “Family Values”!

Blame this “destruction of the traditional family” on gay marriage, you sanctimonious schmucks:

Nebraska fears rush to drop off kids before haven law change

OMAHA, Nebraska (CNN) — Nebraska officials said they’re concerned about an apparent rush by parents to drop their teenage children off at hospitals before lawmakers change the state’s troubled “safe haven” law.

The latest cases came the day before the state Legislature kicked off a special session to add an age limit to the law.

On Thursday, a boy, 14, and his 17-year-old sister were dropped off at an Omaha hospital; the girl ran away from the hospital, officials said. A 5-year-old boy was left by his mother at a different hospital, officials said.

The day before, a father flew in from Miami, Florida, to leave his teenage son at a hospital, officials said …

Nebraska’s safe haven law was intended to allow parents to hand over an infant anonymously to a hospital without being prosecuted. Of the 34 children who have been dropped off at hospitals, officials said, not one has been an infant. …

The safe haven law was meant to protect infants, but there is no age limit under the current law. Five of the abandoned children were brought to Nebraska from out of state. Parents have traveled into Nebraska from Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Florida and Georgia. …

The Department of Health and Human Services published a background profile on 30 of the 34 safe haven cases. The report found:

• Twenty-seven children have received mental health treatment.

• 28 children come from single-parent homes.

• 22 children had a parent with a history of incarceration.

• 20 of the 30 children are white; eight are black. …

And they say we’re a threat to “the family.”

If the “Christians” had actually been listening to Jesus instead of tearing apart our families, maybe these “parents” (who are in reality nothing more than sperm- and egg-donors) could have gotten the help they needed. Just think of that $22 million the Mormon church wasted on attacking gays and lesbians, and how it could have been used to help these children!

Hear that, Mormons?* And Catholics?* And evangelicals?* If you actually gave two shits about “families,” you would have been paying attention to this!

Damn you all to hell, right along with those bastards who abandoned their children. You are no more “Christians” than they are “parents.”

No, I’m not exploiting this story — anyone who knows me knows that abuse of ANY child enrages me more than any other injustice there is. And there’s no getting around what’s been said a million times: With two wars with no end in sight, the economy in the toilet, and people starving and dying in our own damned country, the so-called “Christians” wage war on gays, instead of putting their bottomless fortunes and resources to work on the REAL problems we ALL face.

* Directed at Mormons, Catholics, evangelicals, and any other CINO who supported, supports, donated to the passage of, and/or worked for Proposition 8. There are a lot of good Christians out there; I’m talking to the “Christians” who aborted their very Christianity by supporting Prop 8 — and Prop 102, and Amendment 2, and the Arkansas gay-adoption ban, and every other anti-gay campaign there ever was and ever will be, hate without end. Amen.
