>>Marriage between a man & a woman/imperfect straight couples, will always be very much worth defending.<<


Which would be a dandy argument if anything were happening to the marriages of a man and a woman/imperfect straight couples because same sex couples were allowed to marry.

I just plain don't believe you no matter how much you explain, object, etc.

>>Institutions weren't redefined to allow those rights. One thing did not suddenly become something else...they simply said "yes you can."<<


Which is exactly what happened in MA, and in CT and in CA for a time --- nothing redefined the instition staight people entered into, same sex couples were simply told "yes you can".


Neither had anything about marriage changed in those states, or those nations, in which same sex couples can marry.


>>This nation is one of laws, as you've pointed out the ONLY thing keeping same sex marriage from being legal is that folks don't like their traditions changed. Folks never do.


>>Aah...a grasp of the opposition...if not respect for their position.<<


Oh, I have no problem understanding that people don't like anything to be different.

<<So breast feeding and infant care is only important for the first two months of a baby's life?>>


Of course not, but there are certainly more appointments and such immediately following birth. And breastfeeding takes time for both mother and baby to learn. It may be natural but it doesn't always come naturally. And even if nursing does go smoothly, a newborn nurses A LOT. It's best for the mother to breastfeed as often as possible to help build her milk supply. A breast pump is not nearly as effective as an infant. And for those women who choose not to or can't

Yes, it most certainly was fearmongering by the churches that got the people out to vote.

Don't act like that's impossible...it's very possible & probably will happen & with all their arrogance & bullying they'll probably get their selfish, demanding way with no interest or thought as to the impact it will have on our country
