Federal judge voids Mississippi ban on same-sex couple adoptions
A federal judge in Mississippi ordered the state to drop its ban on adoptions by same-sex married couples, saying Wednesday that it doesn’t pass muster under the Supreme Court’s 2015 landmark marriage ruling.
The law was said to be the last of its kind in the U.S. But efforts to skirt the full implementation of the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges using laws described as “religious freedom acts” remain alive and well in a number of Republican-led states along with measures permitting discrimination against transgender people.
[Mississippi’s Senate just approved a sweeping ‘religious liberty’ bill that critics say is the worst yet for LGBT rights]

The judge should be arrested for child endangerment.
Your side lost. Accept it gracefully.

I support the ruling and at the same time it's getting kind of tired to see the tit for tat SCOTUS politics. It's a sad state of affairs when every little bigoted law has to be struck down by the courts because the legislatures lack the moral compass to not make such psychopathic laws in the first place. I mean, I'm glad the courts are there as an executive branch, but it's just... sad. The matter of freedom, equal protection and decency shouldn't come down to whether a small group of judges agrees with it or not. Our leaders should understand the Constitution already.
If a married lesbian conceives a child, should it be taken away at birth?
I suppose it doesn't really matter if shes married or not...
Two women can't conceive a child. Did you not know that?

Artificial insemination or sex with a male willing to give up rights to any child conceived
In which case it is a man and a woman that have conceived.
And so what.
Bigotry, sponsored and kept in place by elected officials has no place in people private lives.
What is bigotry?
I do not have a spare lifetime to try and explain it to you.
So you were just repeating buzzwords that you do not understand.
Your opinion is not relevant to me.
