Dr Jennifer Morse- What happenened to the Culture of Marriage in the West.

Posted by Fitz

Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse has done it again, here is an excellent lecture on how same-sex "marriage" affects everyone & indeed: all society

Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse is a tireless advocate for the insitution of marriage and runs the Ruth Institute for the study of marriage and culture.

Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse is also the Senior Research Fellow in Economics at the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty. She is the author of Smart Sex: Finding Life-long Love in a Hook-up World, (2005) and Love and Economics: Why the Laissez-Faire Family Doesn’t Work (2001), recently reissued in paperback, as Love and Economics: It Takes a Family to Raise a Village. Dr. Morse served as a Research Fellow for Stanford University’s Hoover Institution from 1997-2005. She received her Ph.D. in economics from the University of Rochester in 1980 and spent a postdoctoral year at the University of Chicago during 1979-80. She taught economics at Yale University and George Mason University for 15 years. She was John M. Olin visiting scholar at the Cornell Law School in fall 1993.

What you may not know is the Ruth Institute also has a project called Ruth Youth an orginization dedicated to educating a new generation of youth on the importance of marriage and related issues.

I hope we here at Opine Editorials will go to Ruth Youth and start facebook and Twiiter and other social networking sites so that we can help spread the word as Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse has and continues to do. The battle for the minds of the youth is one important front in this just and honorable cause.

[UPDATE] ADF attorney Austin R. Nimocks appeared on the Michael Medved Show to discuss the ongoing NJ marriage battle.

The MP3 runs approximately 34 minutes.

It is a excellent discussion about the constant ursurpation of democracy by judicial elites acting on behest of a marriage neutering minority. As an extra bonus a lesbian caller expresses her views about the silent majority of gays & lesbians who dont want or need to redifine marriage (how refreshing!!) She describes her gay & lesbian as petty and little with motives other than seeking the same rights

  1. The culture of marriage has definitely changed dramatically... one of the points I made in these two writings...

    Marriage is Dead Part 1

    Marriage is Dead Part 2

    ...was that with society no longer disapproving of sex, childbearing and childrearing outside of marriage... with third party reproduction especially when it is used by unmarried people... with no-fault divorce and a lack of disapproval of divorce (heck, we reward divorce in some instances)... with more parents "delegating" more of their responsibilities to others, with more spouses neglecting their reponsibilities to each other... it is no surprise that people do not see value in marriage, or keeping it from being redefined into a meaningless word.

    Thank you for the series of links...these are an invaluable list on an important subject that directly impacts marriage and childbearing and the debate we have here at opine.

    I would never have been able to compile a list like this with any ease.

    Please visit Opine often and feel free to leave your thoughts were appropriate.
