Catholic Charities drops their fight against Illinois to exclude gays from adopting…
Catholic Charities says it’s withdrawing from a legal battle over Illinois’ civil unions law and no longer is providing state-funded services.
The move ends the group’s long history in Illinois of providing foster care and adoptions.
Diocese officials in Joliet, Springfield and Belleville say Monday’s decision was reached with reluctance. The Catholic Diocese of Peoria withdrew last month.

There’s nothing stopping this charity from continuing its efforts to help the heteros deal with their excess kids — they just can’t get public money. This is a “I’m the victim” cop out and they’ll blame gay folks for the excess kids left to some other devices. They’re screwing the kids, to spite themselves.
