Marriage on trial

WORLD Magazine: “According to Austin Nimocks, one of the Alliance Defense Fund attorneys working to defend Proposition 8, ‘Any loss for those who are defending marriage on this case will have national ripple effects regardless of the technical legal effect’ . . . Nimocks said that although the decision will have ripple effects for both sides, no matter how the case goes, the gay marriage issue will not go away: ‘No one case, no matter how big or important, will ever settle this issue.’ He notes that Roe v. Wade has not made the abortion issue disappear, despite the hopes of abortion supporters. ‘This case will not decide the issue regardless of how it comes down.’”
