Yet another city’s Catholic adoption agencies were forced to shut down last week, this time in Pennsylvania, where a federal judge ruled that the City of Philadelphia can end its relationship with Catholic Social Services due to its refusal to place foster children with same-sex couples.
The Philadelphia ruling follows a settlement in Michigan last month in which the state’s attorney general, Dana Nessel (pictured), promised to enforce the non-discrimination provisions for adoption contractors even in the case of religious adoption agencies, up to and including terminating them in the event of noncompliance.
