"Pro-lifers" eat their own in Mississippi

There is no greater anti-choice organization in the world than the Catholic Church, but in Mississippi, they're not good enough to adopt children from a Christian adoption agency. It isn't just any Christian adoption agency, either, but one that is funded through sales of the state's Choose Life car tags.

Catholicism does not jive with the agency's "statement of faith," according to Bethany Christian Services director Karen Stewart. Bethany is a nationwide organization with headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Its cultural diversity statement, you will note, does not include religion, which is a hoot if you like irony.

Oh, well. Now Mississippi Catholics can get a tiny taste of what it is like to be single or gay and try to adopt. I don't plan to lose any sleep over their discomfort.
