This is all of a piece with the trial lawyers' efforts to totally control the medical and social services industries in Illinois.

At this time probably 90% of all babies born to Illinois residents are birthed in Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin or Iowa.

Virtually all Illinois babies born to residents of Southern Illinois are born in Vincinnes, Indiana.

Adoption services can continue unabated in the other states but the trial lawyers have driven the relatively low-cost and "not worth suing" Catholic operations out. Whoever is left is going to be a cash cow for the lawyers.

You might think this is incredibly short-sighted of interests in Illinois, but if you lived there and needed a heart transplant you'd quickly find that you needed to meet with your surgical cardiologist in Louisville, KY. For lesser needs you could meet him in Gary, Indiana! But Fur Shur, you'd not find him risking his malpractice insurance rates by meeting with you in Illinois.

The folks running Chicago, and thereby the state of Illinois, are C R I M I N A L S.

They are like Obama. He is like them. His entire crowd are C R I M I N A L S.

They don't think like normal people. They don't see churches as having a good purpose since they may well provide charitable support at a lower cost than the mob protected operators they bleed for vigorish.

The news of the decision to close the programs follows the Nov. 11 announcement by the Catholic Social Services of Southern Illinois that it will separate from the Belleville diocese and offer adoptions and foster-care services to same-sex couples.

Gay mafia takeover of a Catholic ministry

The Catholic Social Services agency, which had been operating at the Belleville diocese since 1947, said that it will now be called Christian Social Services of Illinois.

Gay mafia co-opting "Christian".

Gary Huelsmann, the agency’s executive director, called the move a “solution” that will be “best for the children” as it ensures “their continuity of care.”

Gay mafia mole. Mission accomplished.

Little did we know what the Left really meant when they said “It’s for the children!”

Individuals must step in to fill the void for funding.

"The silver lining of this decision is that our Catholic Charities going forward will be able to focus on being more Catholic and more charitable," he said, "while less dependent on government funding and less encumbered by intrusive state policies."
Yup, freedom has its price.

The radical homosexuals are sick and wrong but they got lots of money—and money wins lawsuits.

Just another day in the People’s Republic of Illinois. Thank you Comrade Quinn and Comrade Madigan.

and this is why the definition of marriage is so important.

It isn’t about “live and let live”

See what happens when they win the debate?

“Live and let live” doesn’t apply now does it? Not when a church is attempting to exercise freedom of religion.

The question is: Have they already won the war without the definition in Illinois? Homosexuals in this state now have the right to adopt children.

This happened some time ago in Massachusetts. I believe it happened over in the UK too. And the left claims that gay unions/marriage won’t change anything. It’s causing Catholic adoption agencies to shut down because they are practicing their faith!

as long as they have the “right” to adopt....it seems they have the “right” to shut down institutions who have a religious-based definition.

And as this article points out...it isn’t so much the “law” as it is the harrassing lawsuites that breaks the bank account of the adoption agencies before the case even makes it to court.

Sounds like what I am reading in Jude and 2nd Peter.
