Marriage dilemma
What is an adoption agent to do if he or she believes that the best for children is (as scientifically, peer-reviewed research has shown) to have a mother and a father, but is compelled by law to change that stance?
There will be no “conscience clauses” in these situations. So, there are only two options: either that person acts contrary to their beliefs (without being allowed to explain that they, and many others, hold an alternative view), or they lose their job (or are not even able to apply for such a job).
