SHOULD state-funded adoption agencies be able, for religious reasons, to turn down prospective parents? An increasing number of states say they should, or are beginning to consider it. South Dakota has had such a law since March; Alabama's governor signed a version in May; the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, has a bill on his desk awaiting signature. Opponents argue that such laws discriminate against couples who are non-Christian, gay or unmarried. These proposed laws also reflect a mismatch in the supply of infants and demand for adoptions.
