Pat Robertson Shuns Adopted Children of Sexual... | Gather

Pat Robertson has long been a mouthpiece for the religious zealots of the United States, as well as those who are dead against abortion in any case -- even in cases of rape and incest. Now the televangelist moron is making comments against children of abuse, warning parents not to adopt them. So what does this mean for those who follow the guy? Well if you're still following this man and his far-out ideals, you're part of the problem.

Orphanages are already overflowing with unwanted children as it is, and many of them are sadly victims of sexual abuse. The number of abused children in the United States alone reaches as high as 3.3 million children -- and those are only the statistics of reported incidents. Approximately five children die per day in the United States at the hands of an abusive person. The number of children in foster care in the U.S. needing homes surpasses the number of abortions performed in the United States. There are over 400,000 children in foster care in the United States and that number grows every year. The number of abortions in the year 2010 and 2011 didn't surpass 300,000. The far right and ultra religious zealots like Pat Robertson often demand that women give their children up for adoption instead of abort, but what happens when those children become victims of abuse?

Studies have indicated that children in foster care are at higher risk of experiencing abuse both sexual and non sexual than not being in foster care. So to hear that Pat Robertson pretty much hates child abuse victims is enough to make any sane person's skin crawl. Pat said the following about child victims of abuse:

"A man doesn't want to take on the United Nations, and a woman has all these various children, blended family, what is it - you don't know what problems there are. I'm serious. I've got a dear friend, an adopted son, a little kid from an orphanage down in Columbia. Child had brain damage, grew up weird. And you just never know what's been done to a child before you get that child. What kind of sexual abuse has been, what kind of cruelty, what kind of food deprivation, etc. etc. You don't have to take on somebody else's problems. You really don't. You can help people - we minister to orphans all over the world, we love helping people. But that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm going to take all the orphans around the world into my home."

So this is straight out of the mouth of one of the pro-life movement's biggest messiahs. Do his followers feel the same way? If they're still listening to him and watching him, then most likely.
