Judge: “No Fundamental Right” to Redefine Marriage
Federal Judge Upholds Louisiana Marriage Laws as Constitutional
This common sense ruling protecting marriage upholds the will of the people and upholds what the U.S. Supreme Court told us last year in the Windsor decision; states have the absolute right to define marriage as one man, one woman.
