Another case for the superiority of "traditional families"

Nice Mommie.

The morning after a deadly house fire gutted her home, a Michigan mother who lost four of her eight children in the blaze allegedly said that "she had too many kids to start with" to a friend who testified Friday in the trial of the man accused of starting the fire.

And in Ohio...

CINCINNATI - A woman who molested at least one of her five children and prompted four of them to have sex with each other has been sentenced to 40 years in prison.

Robin Kraft, 40, and her husband, Paul Kraft, 32, sexually abused their four sons and one daughter, ages 1 to 6, in 2004.

HELLO!!! This is Texas and it's HOT in late July! Why do you have a child if you can't even remember to take it out of the car?

PASADENA, Texas — A Pasadena woman whose 2-year-old daughter died after being found inside a locked SUV parked in the family's driveway has been
arrested.

Christina Elaine Alvarez, 21, was charged with injury to a child by
omission. The child died at Hermann Hospital on Friday night after being found
nonresponsive.

Police said the mother did not realize the girl was still in
the car after returning home Friday between 3:30 and 4 p.m.
Other family members later arrived and looked for the child, but they did not find the girl inside the vehicle until about 8:15 p.m.

Meanwhile, Agape Press has a piece titled "Do Homosexuals Really Want to Get Married?"

Citing a report issued by the Institute for Marriage and Public Policy, they assert the answer is no, as if that has any relevance on our rights to marry if we wish. There is not a requirement that heterosexual couples living together get married. This is not a valid issue but the fundies will continue pinching even the smallest teats in an attempt to extract a drop of milk to bolster their stance.

I don't find it surprising that a much smaller percentage of gay couples are getting married, where it is legal for them to do so, than heterosexual couples. For us as a group, the idea of marriage has only recently become a reality. Couples need to to assess whether marriage is right for them. Even the fundies would argue that no one should rush into a marriage.

To assert, as they do, that we as a group don't really want the right-- that it's being pushed by activists simply to "normalize" our "sin," well... excuse me, but that's just more asshattery.
