Pro-life Democrat supports Constitutional amendment protecting marriage
A constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman has attracted bipartisan support from a pro-life Democrat in the House of Representatives . Congressman Nick Rahall , D- WV , has joined as a co-sponsor of Tim Huelskamp 's motion to protect marriage. Rep. Nick Rahall, D-WV Rahall, who has a 92 percent lifetime voting record from National Right to Life , is the only Democrat to support the legislation to date. Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage said the West Virginia Congressman is the first “hopefully of many” Democratic representatives to support traditional marriage. “Rep. Rahall's support proves once again that marriage is an issue that cuts past partisan politics and special interests, speaking universally to our shared common sense principles, such as every child's right to have both a mom and a dad,” Brown said. Approximately one-third of Democrats do not believe in same-sex “marriage,” accor
