But there's a moral one!

Florida's Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Cindy Lederman ruled last month that a Florida law that blocks gay people from adopting children is unconstitutional. She declared there was no legal or scientific reason for sexual orientation alone to prohibit anyone from adopting. Maybe not, but there's a moral reason! She says in her ruling, "There is no rational basis to prohibit gay parents from adopting." Maybe not, but there's a moral basis!

We need to pray every day that God will raise up judges who are not afraid to make rulings based not only on the rule of law, but on sound moral principles!
