Opposition to Proposed Regulation
 

I strongly oppose any regulation that would make adoption service providers choose between their conscience and this regulation. This is a direct attack on religious liberties and violates the strong support for traditional marriage that was shown in the referendum in 2006.  Sociologists have consistenly found that children have the best possibilities for good outcomes when raised by a mother and father in a traditional marriage.
