| Message | If a girl gets pregnant at 16, gives her kid up for adoption, since, thanks to my bill, we've outlawed abortion, do you really think that she'd want a couple of gays raising her child? |

| Message | "I am sure that provided that the homosexual couple prove that they are capable of supporting the child financially and socially then yes, I am sure she would be pleased that the child is keeping the upbringing that it deserves, seeing as she clearly doesn't see fit to do so herself." |
