The editorials opposed to the decision often voiced fears that “the undemocratic imposition of same-sex marriage will spark a ‘culture war’ similar to that sparked by Roe v. Wade’s overturning of abortion laws

One flaw in this article is the assumption that culture wars start as a result of activist court rulings. In fact, the rulings themselves are major assaults in the culture war. Rulings such as Roe and the California same-sex "marriage" decision aren't objective legal decisions. They're circumstances where leftist judges deliberately misinterpreted the Constitution to advance a culturally leftist cause they believe in. The rulings themselves are major bombs dropped in the culture war by participants in that war. They aren't innocent occurrences which caused others to launch such a war.

The reason this is important is that Orwellian liberal groupthink dictates that conservatives are to blame for the culture wars. Therefore, we're always told that conservatives started the culture wars. Thus, when a school system starts handing out condoms, that isn't seen as the start of a culture war. Instead, the conservative parents who object are the ones accused of "starting a culture war in response to the new school policy."

The California ruling isn't causing opponents of same-sex "marriage" to start a culture war. The ruling itself is a major assault in a culture war started by same-sex "marriage" proponents.
