I oppose a constitutional ordsprog

I oppose a constitutional amendment against gay marriage.

The constitutional problem created by almost a decade of activist lawsuits to destroy marriage demands a constitutional fix. AFM created the Marriage Protection Amendment and our text has been introduced with bi-partisan sponsorship in two successive sessions of Congress in order to protect the common sense view of marriage shared by most Americans of every race, color and creed.

I am pleased that the compromise amendment before the Constitutional Convention was defeated. Now, we can work to put on the ballot a simpler amendment that simply defines marriage as between a man and a woman.

Many citizens who oppose gay marriage also oppose civil unions. The coalition believes it is confusing and unethical to restrict citizens to one vote on two opposing issues, which this amendment would have done.

The very idea of the entire nation sitting around and waiting to see if a handful of judges overturn traditional marriage with a nonchalant wave of the hand is absurd. We need to anchor marriage in a constitutional amendment, and we need to do it soon.

It's unfortunate that those that oppose the marriage amendment are using issues like domestic violence as scare tactics.

A state Constitutional Amendment is necessary because, as we have seen elsewhere, activist judges have overturned statutory protections of marriage.

As White House Counsel, Harriet Miers served as the key legal advisor on controversial legislative matters. Therefore, the White House should disclose the advice she provided the administration on key legislation such as the anti-marriage constitutional amendment and the Marriage Protection Act.

I don't know how they can look at what they are trying to do and come to any other conclusion in that a constitutional amendment to prohibit my family from access to civil marriage is just discrimination, pure and simple. A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness.

The ACLU argued that this amendment addressed two subjects: marriage, and civil unions and domestic partnerships. They said people would be in favor of voting for marriage, but may not be in favor of banning civil unions. The Supreme Court rejected that argument and said that this amendment is about the singular purpose of marriage and maintaining and preserving the protections and obligations of marriage.

It is my hope that we don't get side-tracked by the right wing into a debate over a phony constitutional amendment, ... I strongly oppose such an effort as purely political and unnecessarily divisive at the expense of those who already suffer from discrimination.

The Republicans find themselves in an embarrassing position, ... They cannot agree among themselves as to what form the amendment relating to gay marriage, or the marriage amendment, ought to take.

For the life of me, I don't understand what honest motive there is in putting this in front of this body to philosophically debate marriage on a constitutional amendment that is not going to happen, and which is enormously divisive in all of our communities.

The Democrats' old argument that a constitutional amendment is not needed simply no longer works. A gay rights group from New York is determined to define marriage in Iowa unless Iowans act to define it first.

We're also pleased that the governor vetoed two other pro-homosexual bills. One of them effectively would have silenced pro-family candidates on issues of sexual morality, and the other would have hampered efforts to collect petition signatures to put a state constitutional amendment protecting marriage on the ballot.
