No, they are not ok. The federal government should butt the hell out! It’s none of their business and it’s unconstitutional for them to butt in. The constitution restricts the federal government powers only to the dozen and half functions enumerated in Article I Section 8 and reserves all others to the states and the people.
The federal government has no constitutional authority to forbid the states their right to defend the unborn, nor does the federal government have the authority to force “gay rights” onto our institutions, schools, churches, businesses, institutions, organizations or onto our society.
The federal government has no constitutional authority to support or subsidize or do the bidding of special interest groups like ACORN, the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, LBGT, NARAL, or any other group—liberal or conservative. The federal government has no constitutional authority to ban or have any say whatsoever regarding prayer in school, public prayer, religious displays, etc, whether public, private or even local or state government.
“The CONGRESS shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
And the fourteenth amendment has no say in the matter!
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
The only real reason or need for so-called Right to Life or Defense of Marriage amendments would be to keep the federal government from unconstitutionally intruding on societal issues. Our moral society does not want legalized abortion or gay marriage. They’re being forced on us by corrupt liberal activist judges and unconstitutional acts.
Keep the feds OUT!!

I couldn't agree more with each word above. The most troubling aspect of today's political climate is how much government intervention is being called for on both sides, albeit different causes. I have stated before and will state again that opposing federal government interference on an issue is not the same as accepting or supporting the issue, I just want the government out - we can deal with everything much more effectively at the state and local level. To me, that is the pillar of Constitutional Conservatism, yet I frequently find myself alone in justifying that position.
