Southern Baptist "minister" says single mothers aren't fit mothers.

Another ditwit hit too many times on the head with a big family Bible...

Land: Single Moms Selfish, Should Always Put Kids Up For Adoption

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 11/26/2013 1:25 pm

In a Christian Post column his week, Southern Baptist leader Richard Land argues that single women are unqualified to raise their children and should always give their kids up for adoption as “the best option for everyone concerned.” “Keeping the baby is almost never preferable to allowing a baby to be adopted into a solid, faithful Christian home,” Land writes. Although Land notes that there are “more than 100,000 children in foster care in America alone,” he cites the Judgment of Solomon to suggest that single mothers are being selfish by not putting their kids up for adoption.

Ultra religious parents are unfit because there is a percentage of them that believe in literally beating the hell out of their kids.

The reason these women have children they have to raise alone is the fault of the male. If the male can't be a true Christian and be responsible for his seed then he should be castrated and be made a slave. Either way, male has to pay.

Utter poppycock. Many single women have and do raise wonderful children. Many single fathers have and do, as well.
