Utah professor signs amicus brief arguing same-sex marriage is bad for families

[n2doc]

SALT LAKE CITY – Matthew Petersen and 55 other medical students at the University of Utah have sent a letter to one of their professors, demanding he explain his views on same-sex marriage.

“We saw his signature on the amicus brief that said that legalizing same-sex marriage would cause 900,000 abortions,” he said. “[That] didn’t make sense to us.”

Dr. Richard Farnsworth was among 100 medical professionals who signed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court, arguing that same-sex marriage is bad for families.

They claim legal gay marriage will lead to an additional 900,000 abortions and 600,000 more children being born to unmarried women.

“Basically, because we are students here and he is an adjunct faculty here, we had some questions that were regarding what he put his name to, the research he backed by signing,” Petersen said.

1. Dr. Richard Farnsworth must not watch Modern Family

Even though he says 900,000 abortions. Abortion is legal. But he can't back up the amicus brief anyway. But four justices on the SCOTUS may believe him anyway.

2. The president of Utah Valley University, Matthew Holland, also signed the brief.

If you don't remember who Matthew Holland is, he was on the board of NOM (he had to leave to take the job as president of the university) and his father is (very) high up in the Mormon church.

I'm ashamed to say that I went to school with him...and he lived up the street from me for awhile.
