ADF: American Bar Association can’t speak for all American lawyers on same-sex ‘marriage’
ADF, National Lawyers Association object to ABA’s policy under consideration to redefine marriage at August 2010 National Convention
SAN FRANCISCO — Two groups representing thousands of attorneys nationwide are disputing claims by the American Bar Association that it speaks for the legal profession in its plans to endorse same-sex “marriage” later this week. Attorneys associated with the Alliance Defense Fund and National Lawyers Association point out that about three-quarters of American lawyers don’t even belong to the ABA, and many actively work to protect marriage as the union of one man and one woman. In addition, National Lawyers Association President John G. Farnan is urging several thousand lawyers in its database to individually voice their objection directly to the ABA, which will decide at its national convention in San Francisco Aug. 5-10 whether it will adopt a policy that urges state, territorial, and tribal governments to eliminate all legal barriers to radically redefine marriage.
