American College of Pediatricians Calls Same-Sex Marriage Ruling ‘a Tragic Day for America’s Children’
A professional medical society with an avowedly conservative outlook is making no bones about its position on Friday’s Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage.
In a statement, the president of the American College of Pediatricians called the Obergefell v. Hodges decision a “tragic” one for children.
“This is a tragic day for America’s children,” Dr. Michelle Cretella wrote. “The SCOTUS has just undermined the single greatest pro-child institution in the history of mankind: the natural family. Just as it did in the joint Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton decisions, the SCOTUS has elevated and enshrined the wants of adults over the needs of children.”
The college said that its research shows that “same-sex marriage deliberately deprives the child of a mother or a father, and is therefore harmful.”
Cretella said it was “disappointing only 4 of the 9 justices heeded the scientific findings” in the amici brief it joined in the Obergefell v. Hodges case that led to the legalization of same sex marriage nationwide . . . HERE)
