“We will never surrender”

A marriage advocate offers a state legislature about to redefine marriage some advice and predictions.

The following are remarks prepared by Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D., for the Rhode Island legislature hearings on the redefinition of marriage and delivered there last week (January 15). Dr Morse is the founder and president of the Ruth Institute, a project of the National Organization for Marriage.

Almost two years ago, I came to this place to plead with you not to remove the gender requirement from marriage.[1]  I predicted that children would have three legal parents[2] and that custody disputes would involve three or more adults.[3]  I predicted greater attacks on religious liberty for those who resist your war against the gendered nature of the human body.[4]

I predicted the systematic removal of gendered language from the law. No more husbands and wives, only spouses. No more mother and father. Only Parent 1 and Parent 2.[5]  

All of these things have come to pass in other places.

Tonight, I have returned.

You will little note, nor long remember what I say here.   The rich people in our country have decided that we are going to have what you call same sex marriage.[6]  You will do what you have come to do.

So tonight, I have a few more predictions.
