Handy Dandy Marriage Neutering Plea Repellant

The California Supreme Court has, to their credit, upheld the state constitution. Proposition 8, approved by the voters, has been "allowed" as an amendment to the constitution. The court also upheld the estimated "existing" 18,000 brideless or groomless licensed marriages that were started in the state between when the court's decision striking down Prop 22 went into effect and the voters passed Proposition 8, which was already heading for the ballot when the court refused to stay their own decision on Prop 22.

Californians are going to be bombarded with pleas by marriage neutering activists to get behind a new ballot measure to repeal the California Marriage Amendment. Of course, the fight rages on in many other places, too. So, submitted for your use is my Handy Dandy Marriage Neutering Plea Repellant. Of course, this blog right here - The Opine Editorials - is a great place to hone your arguments in this matter, but you can consider my piece to be an additional tool, if you need it.
