Actually, you are the only person I have ever come across who thought that wedlock meant not married. The only person, ever. I've shown you multiple dictionary sites giving the definition. I've read the phrase 'out of wedlock' many times, and each time it meant not married. Wedlock is married. Out of wedlock is not married..
Oh, I get it. You knew what I was talking about "out of wedlock" but pretended not to as if that leant credence to your position.
OK, let me restate this: IF A CHILD IS MISSING A PARENT IN HIS HOME AND IT WASN'T FROM DEATH OR DIVORCE, HE WAS BORN
OUT OF WEDLOCK.
So, all children in gay "marriages" are by definition born OUT of wedlock. So these children are actually being pre-ordered, for money, where one of their parents agrees ahead of time to sell their interest in the child to place it in a home where a vital role model will always be missing. Mother or father.
And this isn't a conversation about accidental births or unfortunate orphans of all walks. This is a conversation about before a women ever becomes pregnant, a decision is made where she pre-agrees to sell her parenthood of a child for money (or the natural father does in the case of lesbians) knowing that child will enter a fatherless or motherless home.
So, if the Prince's Trust survey is accurate and children without a regular and consistent role model of their gender in their lives (the study factually meant mother or father, but probably didn't want kids without one or the other to feel stigmatized and have their plight become worse), then a parent of a child is selling off custody of that child for money to a situation that can be predicted to be detrimental to them. The Prince's Trust survey found these adult children suffered significantly elevated bouts of drug abuse, depression, indigency...as well as thoughts of not belonging or committing suicide. That spells "predictable detriment" to me....to a child....where money changed hands...and a child was shipped off to a situation that would harm them...
...and how is that not child trafficking?
A surrogate is not the biological parent of the child she carries. It is not her egg. She only provides the womb. Are you arguing that carrying the child is what makes a woman a mother, and that the woman who has her egg fertilized is not the mother? Or that both women are mothers?...
No, as you are already perfectly aware before you asked, no gay man is ever a mother.
Get it yet? So every child in a "gay marriage" is half-sold to a situation predictable to their detriment. If both parents were man and woman and incapable of reproducing, any surrogate child entering their home would have the full compliment of non-out-of-wedlock parenting. A gay marriage for the sake of children is always out of wedlock because there is no complimentary gender present...ever..
And money changes hands for kids entering that motherless/fatherless environment....to the detriment of kids...
Just because you folks forced society with your pocket Justices amending the Constitution to "make gay marriage legal across all 50 states" doesn't mean for the sake of child welfare, we completely redact what is vital and necessary and physically impossible to change about children being born of men and women together....in re: to the phrase "out-of-wedlock". As far as kids are concerned, gays are never married....not in the sense that is vital to them..
