Joe Infranco: Perry trial misconceptions and the meaning of procreation

ADF attorney Joe Infranco writing at Speak Up Movement / Church: “The Perry case, which is attempting to overturn the voters’ definition of marriage in Prop 8, is a spectacular example of misused words and shifting meanings. The distortions begin with an assault on the very word ‘marriage,’ which has always referred to a union of two different but complementary entities . . . All this pales, however, in light of the casual assertion (advanced by those seeking to overturn the will of voters in Prop 8 ) that same-sex couples ‘procreate.’ Um, no … they do not; or rather they cannot – by definition.”
