Say NO to 9th Circuit radical judges rule Prop 8 unconstitutional?
Image via WikipediaDid you hear the news that the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled California's marriage-protection amendment (also known as Prop. 8) unconstitutional this week? I'm sure you were no more surprised than I was, considering the 9th Circuit is infamous for socially liberal rulings.But this isn't about a track record or academic arguments—this is about a court deciding that marriage as the union of a man and a woman is unimportant for the next generation, for the children who may intentionally be motherless or fatherless as a result.
Here at Focus on the Family, we are dedicated to marriage—and that includes working to protect the definition of marriage, as when nearly 7 million California voters approved Prop. 8 at the ballot box in 2008, as well as helping individual couples build and strengthen their marriages. We know the importance of this work because we understand that our country, and our culture, is only as great as its families.
This week's ruling is just another rung on the legal ladder as the case makes its way to the Supreme Court.
