Now, I come at this from a Christian first perspective, which the founders did as well.

Their politics did not trump their Christianity, quite the opposite.

It was their Christianity that framed their politics and allowed them to create the best government system in the history of the world.

And yes, the Federal government can enforce Pro-Life laws and enforce Anti-Gay Marriage laws quite easily and effectively. There is no difficulty there.

What you have presented is a straw-man argument.

A happy and healthy society is a free society. That's what I want. There are two things necessary for a free, healthy , and happy society. One is what the Founders gave us with the Constitution: a free republic (sound familiar?) which by definition has a very limited government whose powers are enumerated and delegated by the people. The second thing is reflected in the Declaration of Independence: a knowledge of God and His goodness in giving man the inalienable rights of among other things, Life, Liberty, and Freedom to pursue his dreams and goals.

To mix the political framework of freedom from government interference with individual framework of his freedom to choose is fatal (not to mention unconstitutional which doesn't seem to bother you). Government does not give man the rights to life, liberty, and pursuits - it can only protect them - and that is basically the only role of government. Once you give central government power over individuals' inalienable, God-given rights, you turn the American revolution into the French revolution and citizens' heads roll or the USSR which had a huge list of a bill of rights (under the power of government) and tens of millions of its own citizens were killed by it's own government.
