Another Assault on Marriage

posted Tuesday, 28 August 2007

The latest “potential” attack on marriage is coming from . . . California, where else?  Since the pro-gay marriage lobby has been voted down in its unrelenting attempt to redefine marriage, they have garnered potential support for abolishing the institution of marriage all together:

 In legal briefs submitted to the California Supreme Court regarding same-sex marriage, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Jerry Brown both stated that a future legislature could abolish marriage and remove the rights now enjoyed by a husband and wife, a pro-family group charged on Monday.

In Brown's document, filed on Aug. 17, the attorney general stated that "the words 'marry' and 'marriage' have no essential constitutional significance under the California Constitution. Thus, the legislature could change the name of the legal relationship now known as 'marriage' to some other name without any constitutional impediment." Newsmax 


This is getting ridiculous, and the tendency to dismiss this as yet another example of the lunacy that is California must be put a side.  If this ever comes to fruition it could be cited as a precedent and used by other states.  Do we want to become a nation without marriage?  Do we want to give up the very building blocks of our society, the families of this great Nation, to appease an immoral segment of society?  We need to make sure our leaders know that preservation of the institution of marriage is extremely important and that we will not let it be killed off, even by the Terminator.
