6SJ7: The Underground Railroad is back in operation.
Leave it to a fundie to equate the crime of kidnapping with such a noble concept as the Underground Railroad. Especially since I have little doubt that this person would have vehemently opposed the actual Underground Railroad.
Diana in Wisconsin: I’m confused.
Why am I not suprised in the slightest?
The woman who gave birth to this child, renounced her homosexual ways, found God and doesn’t want her biological child to be around her ex-lesbian partner is the BAD GUY in this?
She's the bad guy because she denied visitation and custody to Janet Jenkins, one of the girls leagally recognized parents, by means of kidnapping. Neither womans sexuality is an issue. She cannot deny contact with her daughter anymore than a straight woman can legally withhold contact with her childs father.
(That’s the way the media is portraying it, IMHO).
Because those are the facts in the case. Lisa Miller has broken the law and violated court orders in both virginia and vermont.
I know they both must be a little mentally ill,
And just what evidence and qualifications do you have to determine the mental health of anyone? Just because you disagree with a persons lifestyle choices doesn't make that person mentally ill. Your opinion does not define reality or law.
but shouldn’t we be rooting for the one who turned her life around?
Commiting a federal felony and going on the run can hardly be considered "turning ones life around".
I mean, if we have to root for the lesser of two evils, then Miss Miller is the lesser of two evils.
That's christian hypocrisy for you. Claim the woman "turned her life around" and became a christian, but then assert that her prior lifestyle that you do not approve of means she is still "evil".
What am I missing?
Independant thought? Concern for the opinion or well being of the child in question? Basic morality? The list goes on and on.
And why is this any different than say, a woman who later finds out her husband is gay and doesn’t want her children having anything to do with him?
It's not different. In neither case can one parent unilaterally decide that other is no longer allowed contact with the other parent. Nor can it be mandated by the court unless the custodial parent can demonstrate that there issue a reasonable belief that it would put the child in immediate physical danger.
I mean, I don’t think homosexuals should marry, let alone reproduce in the first place
You are entitled to your own opinion, but not to the right to enforce it upon others.
Sir Francis Dashwood: The judge is a pedophile and should be hanged...
And you have evidence for this libelous and defamatory assertion, because without which you have opened yourself up to be charged with libel.
dschapin: This is not a normal contract case.
You're right, it's not a contract case, it's a parental custody case.
It would be morally wrong for this mother to allow her daughter to be molested by her former lesbian partner.
As I said to the previous poster, What evidence do you have that Ms. Jenkins has or intends to molest her daughter? Being gay or lesbian does not automatically make them a pedophile and it never will, not matter how much you assert it to be otherwise.
Would you subject the child to sexual abuse just to punish the biological mother for the bad decisions she made in the past
What grounds do you have to assume that said sexual abuse will happen, or that it is part of some conspiracy to "punish the biological mother"? You are simply making libelous claims and assertions intended only to smear and defame a person. You have no proof of intent or prior action and as a result you can, should, and deserve to be charged with libel.
