While we’re at it, how about a Constitutional amendment forbidding citizens to have kids before marriage?

How about simply nullifying all the giveaways to unwed mothers of children born after, say, 4-1-2009? If unwed mothers don't want the financial responsibilities of motherhood, they can give their children up for adoption as was done before the government started encouraging single motherhood.

How about simply abolishing all complusory transfers of wealth, to anyone? If citizens do not want the personal, financial, and moral responsibilities that come with liberty, then they can move to Europe?
The only just role of government is in protecting the life, liberty, and property of citizens. The ballot box should not be weapon for some groups to use to plunder other groups, nor should it be a means for some groups to impose their worldview on all other groups.
If some churches choose to sanction or recognize same-sex marriages, then that is their right; in that no one else has the right to deny them that choice.

You don't have to like it, but you have no right to stop it. As someone above pointed out: It neither picks your pocket nor breaks your leg. Deal with it.
