June 5, The California
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, responding
to a potential legal action by the ACLU will be changing
its regulations to accommodate conjugal visits by
homosexuals. In an article from the San Francisco
Chronicle,
Gays and lesbians allowed conjugal
visits in prisons,
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2007/06/01/MNGVOQ5TTI1.DTL
“the
state Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation has begun to allow overnight visits for
inmates with registered domestic partners and is to
adopt permanent regulations later this year.”
Biblical Family Advocates Director (BFA) Phil
Magnan responded to the article saying, “The
State of California is continuing to tear down
the fabric of godly marriage by encouraging and
recognizing domestic partners whose lifestyles
are immoral. Domestic partner legislation is
unconscionable and dishonors the marriage bed
that is intended for heterosexuals alone. They
should not be rewarded with such marital
benefits when God forbids such unions.”
Magnan continued, “Though visits by family or
friends can be helpful, encouraging immoral
behavior is not the road to recovery. Repentance
and spiritual transformation through Christ are
far more beneficial to prepare an inmate to be
released into society. If the Department of
Corrections is truly committed to
rehabilitation, they should reconsider the
gravity of sponsoring immorality under their
care. Of course, one can only pity the
Corrections Department having to submit to such
immoral laws as domestic partners legislation.”
Biblical Family Advocates is also concerned
about the potential for lawsuits against the
State of California for allowing a potentially
high risk person to have sexual relations with
an inmate under their protection. BFA wonders if
the State of California will be held harmless
for allowing one of their inmates to contract
sexually transmitted diseases like HIV or for
allowing one of their inmates to infect someone
outside of the prison population. BFA also
wonders who will pay for such care created by
facilitating reckless behavior. Once again, it
appears that the tax payer will be burdened with
the high cost of State sponsored immorality.
