Is anyone else worried about this?
I'll tell you what makes me nervous
Number One:
snip -
Whereas, families consisting of the legal union of one man and one woman for the purpose of bearing and raising children remains the basic unit of our civil society;
end snip
Does this mean that if a man and a woman want to get married and announce they do not intend to have children (or one or both of them are known to be infertile) the govt can deny them a marriage license?
Number Two:
snip -
(B) neither the United States Constitution nor any Federal law shall be construed to require that marital status or legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups;
end snip
Couldn't this also be used to do away with or ban civil unions? I refer to the "legal incidents thereof"
This really scares me!
