WESTMINSTER , May 17, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Pro-family campaigners are asking UK citizens to contact their MPs to ask that so that David Cameron 's gay “marriage” bill be defeated. Anthony Ozimic, communications manager for the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children told LifeSiteNews.com that the bill, which goes to a vote on third reading in the House of Commons on Tuesday, is considered likely to pass. On Monday, a series of amendments will be proposed for a vote by MPs, among which will be a call to defer the entire process until 2015 and put it to a public referendum. Another will call for heterosexual couples to be included in existing civil partnership provisions. But Ozimic said that SPUC has no position on any of these, and are concentrating on defeating the bill as a whole. The bill has been in committee since being brought forward and receiving a tentative go ahead by an overwhelming majority of MPs of all parties. It is scheduled to go to a vote ab
