Um, what? Banning gay marriage between consenting adults is so important that we should enshrine the slaughter of innocents in our Constitution? What kind of sense does that make? The trade you suggest is sick.
—Banning gay marriage between consenting adults is so important —
Yes. Abortion has always been with us EVEN WHEN IT WAS ILLEGAL. Even during the 50s it was somewhere in the six-figures (exact estimates are impossible since it was illegal virtually everywhere). But same-sex “marriage” will turn the marital institution into a laughinstock—it has already done so in Western Europe. If two people of the same sex can “marry”, young people will say, then what’s the point of marriage. They’ll see it as a pointless exercise; less work to just “shack up.”
