A Sikh couple claim they were advised by an adoption agency not to apply because of their ethnic background. Sandeep and Reena Mander were told by Adopt Berkshire that white British or European applicants would be given preference, as "only white children were in need". "They took the colour of our skin as the overriding reason not to progress with the application", said Mr Mander.

A spokesman for Adopt Berkshire says "we do not comment on ongoing court cases," and the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead has not responded to a request for comment. While it's now been made illegal for adoption agencies to prioritize on the basis of gender identity, sexual orientation and religion, it's still perfectly legal for adoption agencies to prioritize on the basis of race. Do you consider this to be fair?

I wants to hear your opinions about this subject. Here's mine.

I thinks everybody deserves a chance in life and that nobody have the right to take it away from any human beings. I'm a pro-life atheist and I'm glad I was adopted away instead of being aborted, something many did in China due the one child policy. I thinks both the doctor and the woman who undergoes the abortion should receive the same punishment as other people who takes someones life, something that's between 7 - 21 years in Norway depending on severity. Abortion should only be allowed if it's a danger of the mother's health and when the choice is between one survive or both dies situations. Abortion shouldn't be allowed in rape, incest etc. cases either. Just because a person commit a crime doesn't mean you're allowed to do it as well.

I'm against abortion if men could be pregnant as well. This hasn't anything with women's right to do, but with human's right to live. I don't expect people to keep their legs shut, but I do expect people to use contraception if they don't want children. Adoption is also a alternative when the accident happens.

Here's reasons why Pro-choice arguments doesn't make sense (In my and the writer's opinions):
