Republicans Have Plan to Let Adoption Agencies Turn Away Same-Sex Parents
Republicans are pro-life until you're born. Then, go f--- yourself basically.
Trump is steadily rolling back Obama-era nondiscrimination policies across the entire federal government — including health care, housing and the military.
President Obama banned adoption and foster-care agencies from receiving federal funding if they refused to work with same-sex couples. Religious organizations have consistently bristled at that policy, arguing that they're being forced to contradict their beliefs.
The Trump administration will soon make it easier for adoption agencies to reject same-sex couples.... White House is weighing two options: either rescinding those rules altogether, or adding an explicit exemption for religious organizations.
The formal policy would come from the Health and Human Services Department's Office of Civil Rights — which has been at the forefront of Trump's broader effort to accommodate religious organizations and roll back nondiscrimination rules.
