Right on mom and dad

Still, Astakhov is an amazingly vile gentleman. This is what he said about the fact that same-sex marriages legalized in France and Britain narrow the opportunity for citizens of these countries to adopt our children. "This position is already expressed in our basic laws - in the Constitution and the Family Code. It directly states that marriage is the union of a man and a woman. We have nothing else. Period... Take the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It says: a child has the right to "Mom and dad. Adults don't have a mandatory right to a child. But a child has a right to a mom and dad. And we are being asked to change the model of this world, these relationships." Astakhov repeats twice: a child has the right to a mother and father! Repeated by a man who did everything to deprive hundreds of specific children of this right. And which now threatens hundreds more potential children who could also be adopted by the French and Americans.
