By the end of this month it's likely to be legal for children in California to have three parents.
As of now, the state's current law only allows two parents per child, which is both the historical standard and the common sense one.
So why aren't two enough anymore?
Same-sex marriage.
Children of lesbian couples may have two "mothers," but it's obviously impossible for a child to be conceived without a father. The same is true for homosexual men; every child is born of a mother, even if the male couple deems her simply utilitarian in nature.
California state Senator Mark Leno introduced the legislation expanding parenthood earlier this year when he learned of the unfortunate plight of a young girl named M.C. The little girl's biological mother is a lesbian who is "married" to another woman. The state recognizes the two women as M.C's parents, but the youngster suddenly found herself in an even more precarious position when her biological mother went to prison and her other "mother" was hospitalized.
In a day she went from having two "mothers" to having none, at least practically speaking.
The circumstances are very disturbing. The biological mother went to jail because her boyfriend stabbed the other "mother."
The biological father requested custody but was denied because of California's two-parent policy. Instead, the child became a ward of the state. Even though the two women were otherwise disposed, the law still views them as the child's legitimate parents.
The sordid details notwithstanding, the consequences of this law designed to allow for multiple parents are far reaching and tragic.
I fear for the child who will soon be pulled in every direction, their loyalties challenged and their sense of morality further corrupted and confused.
This is what happens when the gender of a parent no longer matters, when culture sees the role of mothers and fathers as interchangeable or even irrelevant rather than sacred and distinct.
A mother cannot be a father and a father cannot be a mother.
California Senator Mark Leno may be on the verge of a legislative victory, but like regularly happens with attempts to redefine God's design of the family, when radicals win, it's the children who ultimately lose.

If it passes, all the mexican illegals in California should get married to form a big family of ten million or so. That way they couldn’t be compelled to testify against each other in court, and would qualify for family health insurance rates.
One thing seems certain, that no one carefully researched what is best for children. They were treated as accessories to the gay rights movement.
children are one of the biggest arguments against same sex marriage ..like a kid can’t figure out at some time that its not the natural order of things.
Not all that different from the consequences of easy (though normally sexed) divorce.
That is the point-—The Laws of Nature will usually work correctly-—UNLESS there is unnatural, “artificial” world the child is raised in. It is why Afghani Boys “think” a society of hating women and pederasty is “good” and “normal” and they will not change their “worldview”—it is almost impossible—what children “learn” in the formative years becomes “normal”.
Children are extremely vulnerable-—it is why for decades the homosexuals have been targeting schools to “normalize” the unnatural—they have to do it young since corrupting children is easier than a moral adult-—all the “gay” pride days are for the children. It is why there are those under 24 who now think homosexual marriage is a “right”. They have been conditioned to “think” so. Goebbels and Lenin knew that behaviorism works—Pavlov could elicit any “desire” especially where sexual urge exists if they get kids young enough. It is why Dewey wanted younger kids in the group think factories....easier to “shape their plastic minds”.
Once indoctrinated into the “new” normal, ...children won’t be able to use logic and reason like in the Age of Reason because it will not be based on the Laws of Nature—like Locke’s philosophy and all Founders. It will be based on the philosophy of Marx—who kicks out human nature—to reshape and form it—to perfect it for his utopian society where we are all slaves. We will have the minds and thinking processes of the Afghanis where Natural Laws don’t exist——feeling “right” is what it is all about and they will force children to think evil is good and remove all natural laws which are inline with God’s Laws, thanks to Aquinas.
Christianity is in line with Natural Laws and is why America was the most successful and free country on earth. Logic and Reason come from the Laws of Nature-—Common Sense and true Justice and equality.
So now let’s all sing a verse of “I’m My Own Grandpa’s Grandma and Sister’s Eunuch Uncle”.
I am afraid the days of reason are gone. Too many indoctrinate in unnatural law..sad
Natural conception is discriminatory to Gay (LBGT) couples. It’s purpose is to embarrass them. Maybe it’s time to outlaw it until nature catches up with our social progress.
We cannot use one weird case to make bad case law. What is next, 5 parents because a Muslim child grows up with one Daddy and four Mommies?
If they cannot procreate how can you call it "marriage". California was already insane, but this is really "nuts".
Yep....that is why it is frustrating to argue with Leftists/Marxists. Their “reason” is not based in the Laws of Nature-—but in “feelings”. There is no Logic or Reason in the mind of a Liberal. They are ideologues who don’t “think”.
They feel and know because of their programming/brainwashing which is what our public schools have been designed to do since John Dewey—to erase Moral Absolutes—(the Designer of Nature-—and the Laws of Nature and to teach radical egalitarianism-—where there is no nature of male and female-—they are the same and interchangeable.
Marxism (radical egalitarianism) is evil—so dehumanizing and reduces all humans to the collective-—no uniqueness or individualism. They can be exterminated at will.
