One Man, One Woman


A Citizen’s Guide to Protecting Marriage by Mitt Romney

 

 

“A divided judicial supreme court of Massachusetts detected a previously unrecognized right in our 200 year-old state constitution that permits same-sex couples to wed. I believe that 4-3 decision was wrongly decided and is deeply mistaken.”


“The institution of marriage was not created by government and it should not be redefined by government.”

 

marriage is the foundation of a harmonious family life. It is the basic building block of society ... As a result, marriage bears a real relation to the well-being, health and enduring strength of society.”

 

So what to do? 1) Act now to protect marriage in your state. I urge my fellow governors to strengthen laws concerning marriage. 2) Beware of activist judges. 3) Act at the federal level. Amending the constitution may be the most reliable way to prevent such confusion and preserve the institution of marriage.”
