Reaction to Virginia’s “Conscience Clause”

In a recent post, I expressed my outrage over the recent adoption clause passed by the Virginia Senate.  A child welfare group also opposes the “conscience clause” and voiced its opinion in this Virginia-Pilot article.

The group is opposed to the clause, because it, “sanctions discrimination by groups that get public money to place children on behalf of the state.”

Now that the issue has been brought to the attention of the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia, we can only hope that it gets a proper squashing!
