I hate this country. My loving marriage has far more right to exist than these ghouls'
Agree entirely on the value judgement but it's not a right if a single party can remove it.
It should have been written into the damn constitution with an ammendment along with bodily autonomy for women. But that would have taken some guts and foresight by the democratic leaders.
Now it's too late.
An amendment would have taken 38 state legislatures ratifying it. There aren't 38 state legislatures likely to pass ratification of an amendment that guarantees a right for any two adults to marry without exception and also guarantees a right for any woman to terminate any pregnancy without exception at her will.
That's probably tied for the lowest odds any hypothetical amendment has of being ratified.
Thankyou. I didn't realise quite how difficult it would have been.
So sad that things so obviously harmless and bettering for humanity can't get anywhere near that 76% support in the richest most privileged nation the world has ever seen.
Humanites high water mark is decidedly low considering the potential.
Oh well.
