Massachusetts can make any law they want, marriage will always be marriage no matter how they amend it or add benefit to it. In the end government does not control the definition of marriage, natural law does. Natual law of our biology is for one man and one woman to be monogamous and to be responsible for the sexual/reproductive activities.
Governments do hold a responsibility if they choose to uphold natural law, they can not, no matter how hard they try change it. Call me emotional, because I had a baby 8 days ago. But my husband and I undergone so much sacrifice to not only love as a feeling but care in terms of action to care for my children. You can’t put a price on being up for six solid hours with a newborn with gas or bearing down on your “girlie parts” to birth a baby.
Despite medical science and craftily legislation, all children have the same biological origin one mother and one father. Sure one can purchase eggs and sperm from a catalog, and pay desperate women to bear children for payment of “services”. You tell a child he has no father but instead two mothers, but we all know that is a lie since two women can not create a child.
The child knows better, or will know better when he questions his true roots. The child has a right to know his origins over a are givers want to be natural parent. This is even true in traditional adoption, adoptive parents sooner or later have to reveal the truth to their child of the biological parents. To denote my past nine months, my labor, and even my parenting to the level of being a service and that my husband and I can be replaced by a multiple definition of marriage by statute that has nothing to do with responsible procreational activities but rather erases them as a matter of legislative law but never natural law.
We have been neutered and accountability to one another as a matter of legislative law doesn’t exist. Society has an interest in keeping couples who have sex together to be monogamous and to raise their children. Many children do well without being in the traditional household, but children do better when their biological mother and father love each other and our committed through the institution of marriage. As a wife and mother, and my husband as husband and father we are nobody to Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
I don’t hate homosexuals or even disagree with them that they should receive some acknowledgment for their living arrangements. They can not call me a bigot though, for simply recognizing that as a heterosexual woman I need society to acknowledge the uniqueness of the relationship I have with my husband. If society through its laws refuses to acknowledge the responsibility and sacrifice that men and women make through marriage, then it shouldn’t make a legal mockery through statutes and court decisions in an attempt to destroy marriage in the name of equality and encourage people not to be married at all through “no fault” legislation.
Marriage has nothing to do equality, marriage acknowledges the complimentary relationship of man and woman puts both individuals in a venerable position as the give all of themselves to each other and their children (if any) are the natural results of that relationship.
Prayer for our legislature and properly discern this tangled web that people have differing needs based on their sexual orientation, and to lump everyone into a definition of a promise that holds no accountability if one decides to breaks it and walk away leaving the other destitute is not a Right.
Gay activists are entitled to have their arguments heard in front of our courts, they are entitle to lobby for laws they deem to be appropriate and needed within in Massachusetts. It doesn’t mean the courts have to always side with them, and in this case they did. And it doesn’t mean the legislature has to enact the laws that they lobby. People who oppose gay marriage are also entitled to the same access to our government, if not through the courts or the legislature then let it be through our rights to amend our state constitution.
