Ben Johnson<\/a> – July 19, 2022<\/p>\n With economic pressures squeezing middle-class families tighter than any time in a generation, congressional Democrats have decided to ram through a series of laws that would write left-wing positions on social issues into law, including a national bill establishing same-sex marriage.<\/p>\n On Monday, Democrats in both chambers of Congress introduced a bill to redefine marriage in national law, which they have dubbed the Respect for Marriage Act. The bill would prevent any state from exclusively protecting the natural family in law, in the (unlikely) event the Supreme Court overturns Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 opinion which created the constitutional \u201cright\u201d to same-sex marriage.<\/p>\n \u201cThe far-right Supreme Court is on a rampage against the freedoms of the American people,\u201d asserted Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-N.Y.), a democratic socialist who identifies as gay. \u201cWe will not sit idly by as Republicans and their activist judges take our country backward,\u201d insisted<\/a> Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.), who also identifies as LGBT. \u201cI look forward to bringing it to the [f]loor for a vote this week,\u201d said<\/a> House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (R-Md.) on Monday.<\/p>\n \u201cIt really should be the Disrespect for Marriage Act,\u201d Quena Gonzalez, senior director of Government Affairs at the Family Research Council<\/a>, told \u201cWashington Watch with Tony Perkins<\/a>\u201d Monday. The bill merely says that \u201can individual shall be considered married if that individual\u2019s marriage is valid in the [s]tate where the marriage was entered into.\u201d At no point does it limit marriage to two partners. Democrats plan to pass legislation preventing states from criminalizing interracial marriage or contraception, positions that have no political constituency in any state. This follows the House passing two bills to expand abortion nationwide<\/a> last Friday, although one or both bills appears poised to die in the Senate.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.washingtonstand.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ben Johnson – July 19, 2022 With economic pressures squeezing middle-class families tighter than any time in a generation, congressional Democrats have decided to ram through a series of laws that would write left-wing positions on social issues into law, including a national bill establishing same-sex marriage.
