Fox News psychiatrist: ‘Narcissistic’ LGBT adoptions will lead to polygamy

A member of the Fox News Medical A-Team on Thursday warned that legalizing polygamy was inevitable if “narcissistic” LGBT couples were allowed to adopt children.

“Children in same sex households, unless the donor of sperm or ova — eggs — is known, which is unusual, unless that’s the case, these kids don’t know their biological parents,” the Fox News “expert” pointed out. “Now, we don’t know the psychological impact of that at all and we need the data, we really do.”

“We are making public policy, as you suggest here, on the adoption of children without an understanding of the psychological impact that effect will have on their conduct and behavior,” Dobbs agreed. “And we seem to be doing so as though we’ve been inspired on high to do so. It’s really been remarkable the manifestation of our disregard for successive generations.”

“And it’s the opposite of inspiration on high, which suggests that you would empathize and care for others,” Ablow replied. “This is narcissistic. I feel like it so I’m going to do it — no matter what the science might show. And we need the data.”

He added: “But the bottom line is, how did we decide that kids are just fine to grow up absent their biological parents? Because why? Because we love each other. Well, three people can love each other so polygamy has to be close behind. How can you have same sex marriage and not believe that three people can fall in love, which they absolutely can?”

1. and Repugs stand ready to elect someone whose religion, until recently

defied the laws against polygamy ...

go figure ...

[HappyMe]

2. Well...

You know, this is so weird and twisted, I'm kinda speechless.

[dballance]

3. So does he realize he just condemed many hetero couples?

“But the bottom line is, how did we decide that kids are just fine to grow up absent their biological parents? Because why? Because we love each other"

Um how many ways can I say this thought is wrong? Not just for same-sex couples but heterosexual couples who adopt or have IVF?

Not to mention there are a ton of biological parents who are criminals, sex abusers, drug addicts and other types of miscreants who should never be allowed near a child even if it is their "biological" child.

Biology is just biology. Parenting is a commitment and a skill.

5. Maybe he hates SC Chief Justice Roberts and his family.

After all, they adopted two children who do not know their biological parents, either.


I suppose Roberts will now find another wife to add to his family, or his wife Jane will bring home a new husband.

8. I devoutly hope so.

4. Yes, but he fails to reach the LOGICAL conclusion: Our subjugation by an alien race. nt

[justiceischeap]

6. Ah yes, the favored "slippery slope" argument

Giving the LGBTQ community equal rights leads to polygamy and people wanting to marry animals.

[aquart]

9. So Joseph Smith's problem was adoption?

[KatyMan]

11. Yes--and isn't that argument just as damning to heterosexual marriage?

If gay marriage leads to polygamy which leads to marrying animals, doesn't if follow that heterosexual marriage leads to gay marriage which leads to...etc...? So maybe all marriage should be banned.

Doesn't that slippery slope start at the 'top', so to speak?

[justiceischeap]

15. One would think but we're talking about republican "logic"

it doesn't always make sense.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

7. Wanting children is narcissism?

When I have my husband's sister over for the weekend I'm really doing it to admire myself?

jerk

[Lars39]

10. Yes, indeedy, let's have a big public discussion on polygamy

Does Fox "news" really want to go there?

[LondonReign2]

12. I'm glad Fux Noise is finally taking a principled stand

...on ALL adoptions where the child does not know his or her biological parents. And thank goodness Lou Dobbs brilliantly noted that "we're making public policy", since we previously only allowed adoptions where the child KNEW his or her biological parents.

You can't get anything past the crack reporters at Fux.

13. Why hasn't Keith Ablow lost his medical license yet?

The guy is a psychiatrist (supposedly) but he's such a fucking douchebag and outright psychopath toward GLBT people that I can't believe he gets patients at all.

[yellowcanine]

14. So by his logic we shouldn't allow any adoptions, surrogate parents, etc.

There have been lots of kids raised by non biological parents.
