Robert Oscar Lopez writes<\/a>: The flip side of the disposable child, of course, is the child as a desired commodity. Since people can be thrown out when they are not convenient, they can also be manufactured and maintained through industrialized processes, when the natural process of lovemaking is not convenient. And alas, this leads us straight to the sublimities of Justice Kennedy\u2019s majority opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges.<\/p>\n

Kennedy\u2019s opinion emphasized the constitutional right of gay couples not to be lonely. According to Kennedy, the Fourteenth Amendment assures that gay couples should be given marriage licenses lest they call out to the universe and find nobody to answer back to their emotional needs with love.<\/p>\n

Obergefell brings Roe v. Wade to its climax because it completes the transformation of children into objects. For children will be forced to love gay adults who are not their parents. To Kennedy, gay adults have a right not to feel lonely, which includes the right to start families. In fact, he states that they have a right to \u201ccustody\u201d and \u201cbirth certificates\u201d (i.e., birth certificates falsified to include two same-sex parents and erase biological parents of the opposite sex). To satisfy the human right to dignity and to thwart the civil injustice of \u201cloneliness,\u201d children must be produced and provided to people who want them, whether or not those people conceived the child by making love.<\/p>\n

Children not only can, but must be manufactured. The transfers of custody must generate orphans and abandoned children, paying gamete donors and surrogates to abandon and orphan their offspring, so that this new product\u2014the loving and obedient human being\u2014can be delivered to paying customers.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t be against Roe but for Obergefell. It all goes together. The small but crucial part of the electorate\u2014largely made up of younger Americans\u2014who oppose abortion but support gay marriage are perilously deluded. The objectification of children through one means will lead inexorably to the objectification of children through another means. The \u201cchild as waste product\u201d and \u201cchild as product for sale\u201d are the same child: the dehumanized and \u201cplanned\u201d child suited to make paying customers happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
