What up TX, faith based adoptions/foster care?

This is just disturbing on so many levels.
Quote: "Not only could agencies turn away hopeful parents under the religious freedom provision, but they could require children in the foster care system to comply with their faith-based requirements....". "That means child welfare organizations could send LGBT kids to conversion therapy, a treatment designed to turn people straight...".

Faith-based agencies should get their blue noses out of the adoption business.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

At a minimum, the state should not help fund them.

Damn, I'd have a hard time placing even an orphan with Muslim heritage in a pious (keeping in mind how I define that) Muslim household. Particularly a female one, or even a male if there is a cultural risk of a bacha bazi situation.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Is it OK for Texas state legislators to adopt children ??

I think they should be required to adopt every unwanted child their draconian laws cause to be born.

why wouldn't even advocating that be considered abuse?
Note:
I'm old enough to recall when it was seriously discussed in the Chicago area that merely referring a child to Child Protective Services was de facto child abuse (IANMTU)
