The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Greg Chafuen regarding Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto Monday of HB 2311, a bill that ensures families and faith-based adoption and foster care organizations who want to provide loving homes for kids are not pushed out because of their religious or moral beliefs about human sexuality:
“Every child deserves a loving home that can provide them stability and opportunities to grow. Gov. Kelly’s disappointing veto of HB 2311 puts politics over people, excluding caring families and faith-based adoption and foster care organizations from helping children find loving homes—just like we’ve seen in other states that don’t have this protection. HB 2311 would help children benefit from as many adoption and foster care agencies as possible, both faith-based and non-faith-based. Overriding this veto would mean that more families can open their hearts and homes to children in need of a safe and loving environment—that’s keeping kids first. We hope that the Kansas Legislature will prioritize the state’s children and promptly override this veto.”
