For the sake of children, marriage should be between a man and a woman, says a pro-family activist.
Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder and president of the Ruth Institute, says legally redefining marriage would
“redefine parenthood” to allow same-sex adults to claim they are married, shoving the needs of children to the side.
“And so we’re asking the court this question: why should the marriage equality rights of adults, so-called, take precedent and be more important than the
family structure rights of children? That’s our question,” she tells OneNewsNow.
The California-based Ruth Institute, which helps children affected by the “Sexual Revolution,” filed an Amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court as it weighs the legality of homosexual “marriage” in all 50 states.
Up until now, she says, the public has agreed the purpose of marriage was to attach mothers and fathers, and their children, to one another.
“We’ve been undermining that purpose steadily for the last 50 years,” says Morse. “But if we take this final step of saying that marriage is a genderless
institution, there will simply be no question that marriage is now for the private, personal benefit of adults and has absolutely nothing to do with
children.”
But marriage does have an impact on children and has been proven, if that marriage is intact, to be the most beneficial environment for the children.
