American College of Pediatricians: A tragic day for America's children

[Pogo]

The American College of Pediatricians is a RIGHTWING political group posing as a medical professional organization.

>> The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) is a socially conservative association of pediatricians and other healthcare professionals in the United States. The College was founded in 2002 by a group of pediatricians including Joseph Zanga, a past president of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), as a protest against the AAP's support for adoption by gay couples.[1][2] The group's membership has been estimated at between 60 and 200 members.[1][3] (In contrast, the AAP has more than 60,000 members.[4])

Zanga has described ACP as a group "with Judeo-Christian, traditional values that is open to pediatric medical professionals of all religions who hold true to the group's core beliefs: that life begins at conception; and that the traditional family unit, headed by a different-sex couple, poses far fewer risk factors in the adoption and raising of children."[6] The organization's view on parenting is at odds with the position of the American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical and child-welfare authorities, which hold that sexual orientation has no correlation with the ability to be a good parent and to raise healthy and well-adjusted children.[3][7][8] A number of prominent researchers have complained that ACPeds has mischaracterized or misused their work to advance its agenda.[1][9]

The Southern Poverty Law Center describes the ACP as an active anti-LGBT hate group according to the "Hate Map" (Florida) on their website.

Horseshit. They're all doctors and know what they're talking about. A leftwing homeless critter like you is braying into the wind.

You ******* idiots ought to have a private forum where you can collaborate so you don't issue repeat BULLSHIT threads.

I'm glad to see that there are some posters that are not ignorant.

I knew as soon as I read the OP that the organization named was going to be some rightwing hack job.

The Southern Poverty Law Center describes the ACP as an active anti-LGBT hate group according to the "Hate Map" (Florida) on their website. It is a group of between 60 and 200 pediatricians who formed as a protest when the American Academy of Pediatricians (more than 60,000 members) came out in favor of gay adoption. Nothing more than another right wing protest group using an official sounding name to trick people. Why are right wingers so dishonest?

 

[LoneLaugher]

Will the OP offer a comment on his stupidity?

How many multi-hundred page discussions have been established over this issue... my guess is that this one will NOT grow to anywhere near those heights... .

And it will not because, it will either be shipped off the 'Patagonia Religion' forum, or some other thread cemetery... by well; there are a number of possibilities there. But even if it remained in US Politics, the Advocacy for the Normalization of Sexual Abnormality will not want to encourage the discussion, given that such represents the coveted:

SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS!
​

"In a statement released Friday, the president of the American College of Pediatricians said the Supreme Court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage will have a significantly negative impact on children in the United States.
Dr. Michelle Cretella, president of the College, said:

"This is a tragic day for America’s children. 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, which has members in 44 states and in several countries outside the U.S., joined in an amici brief in Obergefell v. Hodges, the case that has led to the legalization of same-sex marriage in all 50 states of the nation.

...

Despite being certified by almost all major social science scholarly associations—indeed, in part because of this—the alleged scientific consensus that having two parents of the same sex is innocuous for child well-being is almost wholly without basis. All but a handful of the studies cited in support draw on small, non-random samples which cannot be extrapolated to the same-sex population at large. This limitation is repeatedly acknowledged in scientific meetings and journals, but ignored when asserted as settled findings in public or judicial advocacy.

The College itself has maintained that a significant body of research has demonstrated that “same-sex marriage" deliberately deprives the child of a mother or a father, and is therefore harmful.”

Even before sodomy was legitimized by the federal government, kids were being indoctrinated in homosexuality while in their school. What a screwed-up generation we're we're going to have.

His Cricketerian silence concession has been summarily noted and recorded for posteriority.

Frank Rich, writing in the New York Times, described ACPeds as a "political organization peddling homophobic junk-science."[12] In an amicus brief, the National Association of Social Workers described ACPeds as a "small and marginal group" which was "out of step with the research-based position of the AAP and other medical and child welfare authorities."[3] PFLAG identifies the American College of Pediatricians as an anti-equality organization, describing the group as a "small splinter group of medical professionals who do not support the mainstream view of the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP) that homosexuality is a normal aspect of human diversity."[13] -- Wiki, op. cit.​

Perhaps you would like to explain when and why the ACP was formed, and the very limited list of issues they are concerned with.

Christian Religious Indoctrination is child abuse


Childhood Religious Indoctrination

---
Depends. If forced onto young minds in authoritarian, dogmatic manner (indoctrination), then yes, I agree that is child abuse.
Not all religious discussion is abusive.

The rights of adults to marry same-sex partners is compared to the Roe/Wade decision?
That anti-freedom "American College" group is anti-American.

Your opinion, mine is that Left Loon Liberals are anti-American. There we're even

Why don't you find out when and why that tiny group was formed, and get back with us?
