"These kids hunger for fatherly love. They struggle with their identity. Some spend decades searching for answers. Telling their stories isn't hate. Erasing their stories is."

My entire childhood I searched the faces of strangers, imagining they were all my dad. As far as I can tell, both of these women came from intact families. What a shame their children will grow up fatherless- something they have no experience with, so they don’t understand.

Hey @USATODAY. Here's what I quote tweeted about Becky Burke's announcement. Is that "disparaging?" Or just so self-evident that it makes you uncomfortable.
I’ve spoken to and/or cataloged the stories of more than 100 children with same-sex parents. These two children will likely: - Hunger for paternal love, gravitate toward coaches, and overstay their welcome at the homes of friends who have dads. Some will be so desperate for male connection that they become easy targets for predators. - Feel guilty for wanting a dad in a community that endlessly repeats that they are “so lucky to have two mothers.” - Struggle with questions of identity, wondering whether every man they pass on the street could be their father. - Wrestle with questions of self-worth: Why didn't my father want me? Why did he sell me? And when these children are sad, angry, or struggling, our culture and courts will tell them that the loss of their father was the price of admission for a new adult "civil right." That’s why we must #OverturnObergefell and @MakeKidsGreater.

The dad-trashing needs to stop.
Myth: Dads don't do their fair share. Truth: Dads actually spend slightly more total time on family work (paid work, housework & childcare) than moms — nearly 60 hours/week. Source: @aibm_org

Ohio Democrats want to make every child in Ohio out to be a victim. The @CCVPolicy-backed bill to teach he Success Sequence in public schools is bringing a message of hope to every child. Education, marriage, & work are a simple road map that will lead to freedom and success.
Ohio could soon require teaching marriage-before-kids 'success sequence' cincinnati.com/story/news/po… via @enquirer

These gay men think that because their son conceived in surrogacy had a separate egg donor and surrogate that he has no biological mother. They’re wrong. Not only does he have a biological mother; he needs her. But surrogacy places the desires and convenience of adults over those of the children created. It turns those children into products. The woman’s body, a womb for hire. Surrogacy harms women and children. Ban it.

What price does the child pay for intentional mother-loss? This thread will tell you:

"Given all of this, one wonders if there is any hope for the future of the West? Yet clearly there is. In America, fifty different organizations have come together to form the Greater Than Coalition, to push child-centered traditional marriage and family legislation." @AmericanThinker americanthinker.com/articles…

"In danger of becoming illegal?" We can only hope. #BigFertility get so much mileage off sympathetic stories like the one below where children are raised by both biological parents. It gives cover to the commodification, trafficking, and intentional mother loss inherent to the industry. edition.cnn.com/2026/06/11/h…

"We also found our biological father, and he is preparing to go through legal channels to provide us with a family history of medical information, as almost all of us are chronically ill in some autoimmune way."

Ban surrogacy
Brief reminder from a year and a half ago. The fact that gay chiId sx offenders are able to legally purchase baby boys is a massive moral indictment on us all…

If #IVF is just about making new life, ask yourself why pro #abortion Democrats so enthusiastically support removing virtually all restrictions on the fertility industry. It’s because the baby-making industry and the baby-taking industry are two sides of the same child-commodifying coin. Both determine a child’s right to life based on wantedness or unwantedness. In fact, the “very wanted” IVF babies lose their lives at rates four times higher than the “unwanted” children targeted by abortion. And of the 2 to 3% of IVF children who actually make it through the process alive, up to two-thirds will also lose their mother or father in the process. If you believe in child protection, you cannot allow #BigFertility to decide whether children live, die, or get to know and be loved by their own mother and father.
"This debate is not about whether we care about couples struggling with infertility. We do. We know that the deep desire to have a child and to build a family is basic human nature. House Bill 836 would dramatically restrict the ability of future legislators to enact common sense protection in an industry where profound ethical questions continue to emerge." (Rep. Charity Grimm Krupa (R - 51) We're grateful to Rep. Grimm Krupa for her comments on the IVF "Wild West" bill this week, despite its passage through the House. House Bill 836 seeks to prevent lawmakers from establishing reasonable safety standards and accountability measures for the multi-billion-dollar fertility industry. If successful, concerns surrounding embryo destruction, eugenic screening practices, scientific experimentation, and other ethical issues would be shielded from future oversight. Please join us in praying that this bill does not advance any farther through the PA Senate. Visit pafamily.org to stay informed.

Gay marriage was never just about adults. Every Pride Month, we are reminded how interested this movement is in other people's children. open.substack.com/pub/thembe…

Where have I heard that framing before? "While previous administrations prioritized the desires of adults in the embryo adoption program, Trump-era HHS shifted toward a child-centric framework, urging recipients to consider the best interest of the child" dailysignal.com/2026/06/10/t…

At the pinnacle of support for gay marriage among conservatives, Bethany Christian started placing kids with LGBT couples. They just reversed that decision. They will only hire Christians and they will only serve mother/father adoptive homes. Vibe shift is having measurable impact. christianpost.com/news/betha…

My critique of Bethany five years ago "To see which way the evangelical winds were blowing, Bethany commissioned the Barna Group to survey Christians on the question of LGBTQ adoptions. The report found 55 percent of Christians expressed some level of support for same-sex adoption. Unfortunately, Bethany is looking to the wrong demographic to determine its placement policy. Criteria for adoptive parents should not be based on public opinion, not even Christian public opinion. Frankly, the demographic that should determine an agency’s placement policy isn’t adults at all, it’s the children in need of adoptive parents." thefederalist.com/2021/03/04…

Purchased two kids via surrogacy. Jokes about Ped*philia. “Why is it when somebody, looks at 'naked baby' on Google, and j*rks off to it, they can get arrested?” Make baby buying illegal again.
