Of course, if a pro-life state attempts to legally affirm the definition of personhood to include ALL humans from the moment of conception, the courts would bend over themselves to declare that unconstitutional.
And they just destroyed traditional marriage which they said they weren’t going to do.
Banning words. This is exactly as stupid as any such nonsense that came out of the Soviet Union.
So if a Priest says in conclusion of a ceremony : I now pronounce you Husband and Wife”...What? What happens by law?
California and the US sink ever deeper into perversion.
Everyone knows what a marriage is, and what a husband and a wife are.
Everyone is also free to pretend otherwise. (Though not without consequences.)
Lunatics
The US has become Sodom and Gomorrah
i will always use those terms.

More than that. He’s re-writing the Bible. I’m 63 and can’t have too much time left. Thank God!
How about, “I now pronounce you top and bottom”?
If I ever tell my wife that she is my spouse, she’ll kill me. California needs a good 12.0 earthquake.
And to think all this good stuff they do for us cost us only half of our income.
Next, they will outlaw “mom” and “dad”.
This would have been thought an impossible joke even during the Clinton era.
As it is, it is of course to weep for California. Which even decades ago, some wags called Fornicalia.
People probably tire of hearing this, but it’s not so much a disease, as a symptom. Man’s folly can’t walk away with a situation this grossly until belief in God has vanished.
Whether or not literal brimstone will follow (I don’t know) it’s going to punish itself.
We will probably also see much more church attention to the matter of marriage in all serious segments of Christendom, now that the church obviously can’t count on the government to carry its water.
Husband and wife are not the only words they’ll go after.
All words referencing relationships that also identifies the sex of that person would need to be modifies, such as, aunts and uncles, grandfather and grandmother, nieces and nephews, mother-in-law and father-in-law, son-in-law and daughter-in-law... and others.
Here's a quote from the law: “Under existing law, a reference to ‘husband’ and ‘wife,’ ‘spouses,’ or ‘married persons,’ or a comparable term, includes persons who are lawfully married to each other and persons who were previously lawfully married to each other, as is appropriate under the circumstances of the particular case,” it reads.
See the word "includes"? Doesn't it make you feel good, because it means that there are other definitions too, somewhere, but that those other definitions now also include these new definitions?
What, it doesn't mean that? So "includes" means that these are the ONLY definitions for marriage now?
I agree. That's EXACTLY what "includes" means.
Now, with that understanding, read THIS:

P.S. No, this post is not off-topic. This is how the Rats can be beaten - by understanding HOW they get away with all their crap, and what it's serious limitations really are. IF, that is, anyone wants to LEARN.
When does this crap get so ridiculous that we stand up and say “No More!”?
