Utah Judge Exits Gay Foster Case

Utah Judge Scott Johansen, who had previously ordered that a baby girl be taken away from her lesbian foster parents, recused himself from the case on Monday after facing calls for his impeachment. He reversed his previous order which would have placed the baby in the care of a heterosexual couple, but there was still concern that he would take the baby out of custody later. Johansen had cited "research" that babies do better when raised in heterosexual households as part of his effort to remove the child.
