Says Concerned Women for America
WASHINGTON, July 15 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Concerned Women for America (CWA) praised the Marriage Protection Act (H.R. 3313) at a Capitol Hill press conference today. CWA believes this law is needed to limit the damage done to the definition of marriage by the courts to one state at a time until a constitutional amendment can be passed.
Robert Knight, director of the Culture & Family Institute, an affiliate of Concerned Women for America said:
"Lawless judges are unilaterally destroying marriage by imposing a nonsensical version on us. They want to use the law to force us to say that a wedding without a bride is just like any other wedding. The mark of an oppressive government is when it forces its citizens to lie. Pretending that a marriage without a bride or without a groom is still a marriage would be a government-imposed lie that would reach down into our communities, undermine marriage itself and put more children at risk.
"The radical effort to redefine marriage is about destroying marriage, not expanding it. That's why homosexual activist Michelangelo Signorile called so-called 'gay marriage' the way to 'wholly transform the definition of family in American culture' and to 'get education about homosexuality and AIDS (news - web sites) into public schools.'
