Second marriage is an issue that our Founding Fathers wisely left to the states.
Let me first state that I believe that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman.
Forty-five States as the gentleman just said have determined by people that were elected by the people of that State that marriage is the definition of one man and one woman.
So far 44 States or 88 percent of the States have enacted laws providing that marriage shall consist of a union between a man and a woman. Only 75 percent of the States are required to approve a constitutional amendment.
My parents had an arranged marriage as did so many other people when I was growing up. My father came and had a life in the United States one way and my mother had a different one and I was very aware of those things. I continue to wonder about it and I will continue to write about it.
I do support a constitutional amendment on marriage between a man and a woman but I would not be going into the states to overturn their state law.
Bishop Frederick Henry of Calgary is facing at least two official objections to his public statements along with expensive hearings before the Alberta Human Rights Commission for expressing his biblical views on same sex marriage.
While 45 of the 50 States have either a State constitutional amendment or a statute that preserves the current definition of marriage left-wing activist judges and officials at the local levels have struck down State laws protecting marriage.
Marriage is a religious and state issue.
It devastates me now that I have been reduced to a Hollywood statistic - another joke marriage.
