We know why now a rare opp to see how

I was reading an email from my sister this morning about the Obama address to all public (or private) schools on Sep 8.

Then I happened onto the American Bar Assoc's (ABA) site while researching a reference used in the EdGov site.

Same-Sex Marriage Study

White Paper QuOTe:

The mission of the Working Group was to study and
report to the ABA on the status and legal ramifications of
recognition of same-sex marriages and non-marital unions.
The charge to the group was to produce a report that
would prove a useful guide to those considering this issue.

It is a little dated 2004 but, does list those states considering adverse legislation to God's instituted marriage laws.

Do you think the ABA might be working to allow same sex marriage (sodomy) to be precedent for law in the states?

Will the setting of state precedence move the US Gov to make it national law?

Wow, it makes you wonder if they'll even need to make it national law if they have court precedent. OTher states will just follow suit when similiar cases come up, won't they? What you are suggesting the ABA is doing, may well be true..........I just saw an article about a 10yr. old homeschooler ordered into public school and they are concerned about it setting precedent as well.

Well, considering we now have 5 states who legally sanction and recognize marriage (I live in one, CT) and they've done this in a relatively short period of time from one anOTher.......I see the entire nation going this way within 10 years. They will legally have to in order to prevent the chaos they currently find themselves in regards to how do states who do nOT recognize deal with couples legally married by states who do recognize.

Looks like we modern day Christians are headed for the days of persecution that our forefather's experienced when they stood for righteousness.

The Census Bureau reports that in the year 2000, there were 54.5 million married couples in the United States (made up of a man and a woman). In the same year, there were 5.5 million couples that were living together, but were nOT married. Of that number, about one in nine couples (594,000) had partners of the same sex, although that may be a low estimate.
