In the short time that we lived in California, we heard a lot about Proposition 8. It is an important issue because it will affect the rest of the country. This is because any couple can go to California and get married then go back to they're home state that will then have to recognize the marriage. The basis of society is the family, and it is being attacked!
And this has even been taken a step further:
California Supreme Court’s have ruled that California doctors who have religious objections to artificially inseminating same-sex couples can no longer refuse to treat them. The Court’s decision overturns a previous state Appeals Court decision which ruled in favor of the doctors in 2005.
“This latest ruling proves that advocates of same-sex marriage are not simply seeking tolerance, but rather are pushing for compliance in every corner of California society,” said Ron Prentice, proponent of Proposition 8. “They will stop at nothing to chip away at the free speech rights and the rights of conscience of Californians everywhere, forcing individuals to accept their lifestyle even against a person’s personal or religious beliefs. It is a slippery slope against the individual rights of Californians.”
Here's the just of Prop 8-
* Eight years ago, California voters decided to keep marriage between a man and woman (propostion 22).
* Recently four judges in California's supreme court overturned proposition 22 to legalize same sex marriages.
* A "yes" vote on Proposition 8 will overturn the Supreme Court's ruling and restore the definition of marriage to what was approved of by over 61% of voters.
If you don't live in California, you can't vote, but ANYONE can donate! Even if it's only $5.
