Amendment Targets Gay Marriage in Massachusetts

News:

This week, Massachusetts lawmakers will consider a constitutional amendment intended to roll back the state’s law, unique in the country, which allows same-sex couples to wed. The initiative has been championed by Republican governor Mitt Romney, said to considering a presidential bid, and several of the state’s high-ranking Catholic officials. The bishops have rejected criticism of the amendment as discriminatory, saying same-sex couples are suffering from “an exaggerated sense of entitlement” in believing they deserve the same rights as other American citizens. 165 prominent business and civic leaders, including the mayor of Boston, have taken out an ad in Boston papers urging the state legislature to reject the amendment.

you're a genius....

Eighty percent of new HIV infections in women world-wide
occur in marriages or long-term relationships with
primary partners. (let's hear it for heterosexual
marriages)

Globally, women represent half of all people living
with HIV/AIDS. (guess it's not just a 'gay disease')

More than half of the 3+ million who died in 2005 were
children under the age of 15. (yeah, it's god's way of
keeping kids in line)
