But there are very few same-sex homes where both married parents are the adoptive parents. And confine that small number to only those in Massachusetts, and you could probably fit them in a mini van. As Greg Scott of the Alliance Defense Fund explains, that means Minnery was indeed correct about 99.9999 percent and Franken caught him on a snarky 0.00001 percent technicality that he turned into a laugh-line. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/01/13/glenn-t-staunton-the-nasty-politics-of-parenting-research-national-review/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/07/27/greg-scott-sen-franken-appeals-to-00001-in-hearings-on-no-respect-for-marriage-act/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/07/27/greg-scott-sen-franken-appeals-to-00001-in-hearings-on-no-respect-for-marriage-act/#comments Wed, 27 Jul 2011 10:08:53 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=109161 Human Events: So when Minnery said that he assumed that “nuclear family” meant Mom, Dad and kids, he was somewhere around 99.99999% right. Or, one might say that the good senator was 99.99999% wrong, and should reconsider the weight of Minnery’s principled science. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/07/27/greg-scott-sen-franken-appeals-to-00001-in-hearings-on-no-respect-for-marriage-act/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/07/05/wording-matters-in-marriage-polls/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/07/05/wording-matters-in-marriage-polls/#comments Tue, 05 Jul 2011 06:55:29 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=107409 WORLDmag.com: “It is not surprising that Americans answered in the same way they answer [when voting],” said ADF spokesman Greg Scott.

Our system of government favors bureaucratic inertia, all Congress has to do to let marriage equality happen in DC is nothing. Staffers for Democrats on the relevant committees in Congress have told me they have no intention of interfering with the DC City Council's decision. The DC Council will likely be considering full marriage equality within the year. The only hope for anti-marriage equality activists seems to be for Congress to rally around the DC DOMA Act or similar legislation, and right now that seems unlikely." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/06/16/in-dc-lgbt-activists-won-by-playing-the-long-game/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/04/22/religious-right-defends-guiliani/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/04/22/religious-right-defends-guiliani/#comments Wed, 22 Apr 2009 17:07:35 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=21914 reports at Politico: "Greg Scott, spokesman for the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian conservative legal group that litigates marriage-related cases in New York and other states, said, 'We are happy to see a prominent voice coming out in support of marriage in New York.'" ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/04/22/religious-right-defends-guiliani/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/10/22/oregon-board-silences-pro-life-event-school-board-%e2%80%98revisiting-controversial-topics-policy%e2%80%99/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/10/22/oregon-board-silences-pro-life-event-school-board-%e2%80%98revisiting-controversial-topics-policy%e2%80%99/#comments Wed, 22 Oct 2008 16:24:16 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=8700 ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/10/22/oregon-board-silences-pro-life-event-school-board-%e2%80%98revisiting-controversial-topics-policy%e2%80%99/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/06/03/marylee-shrider-marriage-redefinition-an-act-of-judicial-tyranny/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/06/03/marylee-shrider-marriage-redefinition-an-act-of-judicial-tyranny/#comments Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:44:27 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=4489 ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/06/03/marylee-shrider-marriage-redefinition-an-act-of-judicial-tyranny/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/05/02/lauren-richardson-case-eerily-similar-to-schiavo/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/05/02/lauren-richardson-case-eerily-similar-to-schiavo/#comments Fri, 02 May 2008 16:27:51 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=3079 ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/05/02/lauren-richardson-case-eerily-similar-to-schiavo/feed/ 3 http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/03/18/missouri-lesbian-seeks-missouri-divorce-for-mass-same-sexmarriage/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/03/18/missouri-lesbian-seeks-missouri-divorce-for-mass-same-sexmarriage/#comments Tue, 18 Mar 2008 22:53:48 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/03/18/missouri-lesbian-seeks-missouri-divorce-for-mass-same-sexmarriage/ ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/03/18/missouri-lesbian-seeks-missouri-divorce-for-mass-same-sexmarriage/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/02/01/marriage-and-voters-right-on-trial-in-oregon-today/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/02/01/marriage-and-voters-right-on-trial-in-oregon-today/#comments Fri, 01 Feb 2008 13:38:25 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://208.106.238.176/adf.php/2008/02/01/marriage-and-voters-right-on-trial-in-oregon-today/ ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/02/01/marriage-and-voters-right-on-trial-in-oregon-today/feed/ 2
