No, we want laws against abortion and gay marriage etc., not to pass laws accepting such things like you guys have done in the last 50 years.

That's idiotic; here's why:
If the federal government has the authority to define marriage then it has the authority to change that definition. Surrendering that authority to them is a losing proposition.

As for abortion, the reason that it's illegal is precisely because the authority has been surrendered; or do you think that abortion was legal in the majority of States before Roe v. Wade?

Abortion laws in the U.S. before Roe.

Red     Illegal. (30)
Purple  Legal in case of rape (1)
Blue    Legal in case of danger to woman's health (2)
Green   Legal in case of danger to woman's health, rape or incest, or likely damaged fetus (13)
Yellow  Legal on request (4)

That looks a lot better to me than the situation we have today.

At the federal level, marriage issues and abortion also have to be decided on, for instance in the military, federal employment and immigration and foreign policy.

Never support a social liberal, non God fearing candidate at ANY level of office, because not only will he be pushing left wing social politics, but he might someday reach the Congress, or Senate, or Presidency and be making federal policy.
