"Many people here believe that the states have the right to tell people what they can put in their body..."

Ah, Geez. Read the XXI*st Amendment.

The XIV*th Amendment squelches your desire to have states tell people who they can and cannot marry, since marriage in the US is a matter of civil law regarding life, liberty and property, among other things.

Grow up, fer chrissakes.

Do you know where I can find out what sorts of things (facets of life, for lack of a better phrase) are commonly considered to come under the purview of the 14th Amendment.

Thanks.

Please read the entire post you are responding to before you tell someone to grow up.

What the poster said was "Many people here believe that states have the right to tell people what they can put in their body, even if the Federal government does not. I wonder if those same people would argue that the state does not have the right to tell people whom they can and cannot marry."

I know for a fact, because it has happend to me several time that some of the posters on this board feel the State has the duty to kill my wife and I because we enjoy oral sex.
