RE: [ZION] Federal Marriage Amendment
It means that no legal document can require marriage to also apply to same sex or other couplings. This doesn't disallow unions for them, just proscribes that the term and form of marriage be saved for man and woman.

[ZION] Federal Marriage Amendment
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c108:H.J.RES.56: Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave, R-Colo., has introduced the Federal Marriage Amendment (H.J. Res. 56) as a proposed constitutional amendment, which will remove the definition of marriage from the reach of all legislatures and courts permanently. Text: SECTION 1. Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution or the constitution of any State, nor state or federal law, shall be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups. --- Question: Is this the amendment, introduced in May of 2003, that President Bush is asking Congress to send out to the states? Or is there some other federal marriage amendment with different wording that is being promoted? John W. Redelfs[EMAIL PROTECTED] = The traditional family is under heavy attack. I do not know that things were worse in the times of Sodom and Gomorrah. -- President Gordon B. Hinckley, 2004. = All my opinions are tentative pending further data. --JWR // /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// / --^ This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TOPICA - Start your own email discussion group.
