YES ON MICHIGAN AMENDMENT: Tracey Lee

...Undoubtedly, that's what's best for children. Secular scientific studies testify that a one-man, one-woman marriage is the healthiest, safest, most secure environment for children. Ideally, all children should have a mother and a father, and a caring society will never encourage relationships in which children intentionally, by design, are denied either.

Further, if Michigan's marriage law is left unprotected and judges radically redefine it, then our public schools -- to avoid cries of "discrimination" -- will be forced to teach our children that alternative relationships and traditional marriage are morally equivalent.

Surely, we must not allow any adult special interest group's political agenda to deny our children the social ideal of marriage, or to use our children as test subjects in a risky social experiment with irreversible effects. ...

Harvard University Law Professor Mary Ann Glendon wrote in the Wall Street Journal that Massachusetts "is cutting programs to aid the elderly, disabled and children in poor families. Yet a four-judge majority ruled in favor of special benefits for a group of relatively affluent households, most of which have two (white male) earners and are not raising children -- a real problem of distributive justice." Glendon also noted the cost to taxpayers if marriage is redefined: "The Canadian government, which is considering same-sex marriage legislation, realized that retroactive social-security survivor benefits alone would cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars."
