Senator to Obama: Promoting abortion and undermining marriage is the real ‘inequality’
WASHINGTON, D.C. , January 31, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – President Obama raged against “inequality” during his 2014 State of the Union address , using the phrase three times in just over an hour. But Senator Mike Lee said Obama has misunderstood the concept. Real inequality has less to do with the gap between income classes and more to do with whether the government is using its might to retard economic opportunity, suppress the traditional definition of marriage, and deny millions of children the right to be born, says the senator. “Inequality is denying viable, unborn children any protection under the law, while exempting unsanitary, late-term abortion clinics from basic safety standards,” the Utah Republican said during his response to the State of the Union address, which was sponsored by the Tea Party Express . “It's denying citizens their right to define marriage in their states as traditionally or as broadly as their diverse values dictate,” he added.
