89% of Canadians Say Children Should Be Raised by Parents or a Heterosexual
Canadians are unanimous that the right of children to be raised by their own father and mother should be protected in Canada, a new study has shown, with 89 percent saying they agreed “strongly” or “very strongly” that a child has a right to be cared for by his or her parents. The poll was conducted last week to help identify how strongly Canadians (and Quebecers) feel about children’s rights in comparison to homosexual couples’ claim of adoption rights. Sixty-two percent of Canadians (and 64 percent of Quebecers) agreed marriage should remain between a man and a woman in order to protect the rights of the child, with legal recognition for homosexual unions.
