For sure Newt believes in marriage between a man and a woman. Obviously. He’s been for it three times. That takes dedication. Government doesn’t need to be involved in social issues. Christian churches should be more involved in social issues. Back in the day it was their job to keep people on the straight and narrow. Now they are afraid of losing their tax status, and have allowed the courts to take over our moral issues.
I agree with that. The government AND THE COURTS should stay out of social engineering the public square. But, they won’t.
Like what? Protecting the unalienable right to life? The founders said that's why we have government.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..."
Protecting the institution of one man-one woman marriage and the natural family? The Republican Party was explicitly founded to do exactly that.
I'm amazed by this thread, I really am.
