Parents seeking to adopt children in Texas could soon be rejected by state-funded or private agencies with religious objections to them being Jewish, Muslim, gay, single, or interfaith couples, under a proposal in the Republican-controlled Legislature.

Five other states have passed similar laws protecting faith-based adoption organizations that refuse to place children with gay parents or other households on religious grounds - but Texas' rule would extend to state-funded agencies. Only South Dakota's is similarly sweepingly.....

They claim to be opposed to abortion, but then add in more and more roadblocks to adoption.  Potential adoptive parents should be judged on their individual merits, not these blanket prejudices.
