Prop 8 California

I do not understand what some folks are afraid of.
How can committed and loving relationships be
something to fear? And if these same couples choose
to adopt unwanted and marginalized children and
give them a loving, nurturing home, where is the societal
error? Who will open their hearts and homes to these
children?

For those who proclaim the sanctity of life, where are they
after the birth? Who will take care of these children after
they are "saved" from the possibility of a termination of
pregnancy? These questions are not  addressed by the
pro-lifers. So my query is not addressed. If life for its own
sake is saved - who becomes the caretaker of that life? If
we as a society do not choose to fund the social network
to support the lives we hold sacred, what are we saving?

And if we hold fast to our religious calling to care for those
who can not care for themselves, what are we doing when
we turn our heads away from that responsibility?

How is this hooked to Prop 8 in California? I think the
answer is just too clear....

And  the question remains the same. What kind of
society do we choose to live into? And do we all share
mutually in its future? Or do we exclude from fear the
very folks who can bring us forward into that caring,
nurture-filled possibility of the better way?
