No Child's Safe Program of the ACLU

This from MSNBC.

Kansas cannot punish illegal underage sex more severely if it involves homosexual conduct, the state’s highest court ruled unanimously Friday in a case watched by national groups on both sides of the gay rights debate.

The Supreme Court said in a unanimous ruling that a law that specified such harsher treatment and led to a 17-year prison sentence for an 18-year-old defendant “suggests animus toward teenagers who engage in homosexual sex.”


And now the part you've all been waiting for, where the ACLU attorney attempts to have a sodomy charge reduced to "following too closely".

Limon’s lawyer, James Esseks of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Lesbian and Gay Rights Project, said: “We are very happy that Matthew will soon be getting out of prison. We are sorry there is no way to make up for the extra four years he spent in prison simply because he is gay.”

The Attorney General's office described Limon as a predator, noting that he already has two similar offenses on his criminal record. They contended that such a behavior pattern warranted a tough sentence and that courts should leave sentencing policy to the Legislature.

A lower court had said the state could justify the harsher punishment as protecting children’s traditional development, fighting disease or strengthening traditional values.

But noooo! The predator is free thanks to you know who. They are against what the lower court tried to protect, children's traditional development and strengthening traditional values. The ACLU wants new end very different traditions and it has targeted our kids.
