Same-sex unions raise parenting concerns

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (BP)--Do opposite-sex couples make better parents than same-sex couples?

Statistically, there’s no real proof one way or the other (same-sex parenting is still a pretty new phenomenon for society). But the highest court of one of our most influential states recently suggested that, from a common-sense point of view, mom and dad are a crucial combination when it comes to raising kids.

Those pressing the "same-sex marriage" agenda were banking on the New York Court of Appeals to set their position in stone by using the case of Hernandez v. Robles to declare such unions a “civil right.” Instead, this summer, the court pitched the responsibility for that decision to the New York legislature, with the candid assertion that entirely rational, unbigoted legislation, backed by “intuition,” “experience” and “common sense” could find “that it is better, other things being equal, for children to grow up with both a mother and a father.”
