Judicial Tyranny Imposes Same-Sex Marriage on Resisting States

By Deborah Hamilton

The Supreme Court announced Monday that it would not hear cases regarding gay marriage bans, paving the way for the legalization of same-sex unions in five additional states.

American Family Association (AFA) said the move imposes a ruling on millions of Americans who did not choose the legalization of same-sex marriage in their states at the ballot box.

“With this announcement, the Supreme Court has decided to impose same-sex marriage on an additional 11 states, but just six states have legalized gay marriage through the democratic process,” said Bryan Fischer, AFA’s director of Issue Analysis.

“The remainder of the states are having same-sex marriage imposed on them through judicial tyranny,” he continued. “The court must have known that its inaction is the de facto Roe v. Wade of same-sex marriage. Our Supreme Court justices could have stopped it and chose not to. Even though the Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Windsor that defining marriage is an issue for the states to decide, it is inexcusable that the court did not take this occasion to affirm its own ruling and provide clarity on same-sex marriage in America.”

SCOTUS refused to hear cases from Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin, which were seeking to keep their same-sex marriage bans in place.

“America has yet to see the fascism of the homosexual movement fully unleashed,” added Sandy Rios, AFA’s director of Governmental Affairs. “The left has always complained that the right wanted to impose their morality. But by abdicating a decision, the Supreme Court has placed Americans with deeply held moral objections to same sex marriage at risk.

“As millions of heartbroken, post-abortive women can testify, what is legal is not necessarily moral. We are not confused … only sad for the chaos brought upon our nation by its highest court.”

The news means that six more states—Colorado, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kansas, West Virginia and Wyoming—may soon have to lift their bans on same-sex marriage because they are covered by the same circuit appeals courts that initially struck down the prohibitions, CNN reported. If that happens, the number of states permitting same-sex marriage would jump from 19 to 30—more than half of America.
