"The fact that the pastor may be responding to a comment from the president doesn't make the biblical comments off-limits," Stanley said. The ADF campaigns against U.S. law that prohibits pastors from using the pulpit to oppose political candidates. "At ADF, we believe that restriction is unconstitutional," Stanley said. "Our point is that we should let the pastors and the churches of America debate what is wrong or right." <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/24/southern-baptists-draw-distance-from-harsh-anti-gay-rhetoric-yet-hold-to-convictions/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

But not in the U.S . . . Every other major modern nation and every developing country has low or falling birth rates. Japan and Poland see 1.3 children per woman, Brazil and China 1.9, Pakistan 3.6 (down from 6.6 three decades ago). American fertility rates are relatively high, at nearly 2.1. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/24/americas-21st-century-population-edge-babies-demographics-power-influence/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

Abortion is increasingly hard to square with women’s empowerment when it is the single greatest contributor tipping the scale towards a world with fewer women. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/24/why-americans-are-becoming-more-pro-life/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Benjamin Wiker at <a href="http://www.catholicworldreport.com/Item/1367/gay_marriagenothing_new_under_the_sun.aspx">Catholic World Report</a>: Gay marriage and homosexuality were part of the moral landscape faced by the first Christians in Ancient Rome . . . We can see, then, that Christians face nothing new in regard to the push for gay marriage. In fact, it is something quite old, and represents a return to the pagan views of sexuality that dominated the Roman Empire into which Christianity was born. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/24/gay-marriage%e2%80%94nothing-new-under-the-sun/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

Elites are running from marriage -- with one huge and notable exception: Rush Limbaugh. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/24/maggie-gallagher-n-c-vote-proves-rush-is-right-on-marriage/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

That government should recognize an institution in one move and then redefine it in another is an unacceptable encroachment on a religious institution. Recognize yes, redefine no. It is not their religion that leads them to this conclusion. It is their politics. It is also common sense. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/21/mike-adams-three-views-on-same-sex-marriage/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mark Baisley at <a href="http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/markbaisley/2012/05/18/getting_the_state_out_of_marriage/page/2">Townhall</a>: But traditional home life in America began to change in the 1960s.  The rapid increases in divorce, living together without the benefit of marriage, and out-of-wedlock births created new demands for the application of laws that were originally intended for husband, wife, and children.  Divorce laws for the dividing of property and child support were broadened to apply to cohabiting couples who split up.  It did not take long before same-sex couples began to seek inclusion in the publicly recognized structure for their relationships. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/18/getting-the-state-out-of-marriage/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eric C. Redmond at <a href="http://www.bpnews.net/BPFirstPerson.asp?ID=37831">Baptist Press</a>: Your recent expression of your understanding of 'marriage' is troubling to us. There are no tenets that can be identified as Christian that allow for anyone to view homosexuality as acceptable. The Christian faith holds to the Bible as the truth, for it has given ample evidence of being the very words of God to man. It is the Bible that reveals marriage to be a union between a man and a woman; it is the Bible that reveals all homosexual activity to be sinful. Therefore we would reject your so-called Christian understanding of same-sex marriage as uninformed and false.

		<description><![CDATA[Charles C.W. Cooke at <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/299944/gay-divorcees-charles-c-w-cooke">National Review</a>: But it is nonetheless worth noting that there is no particular groundswell — even in states and cities that have both legal gay marriage and significant numbers of homosexuals — and that, when gay couples do decide to get married, they are more likely than their straight equivalents to change their minds later. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/15/the-gay-divorcees-there-are-more-than-you-might-think/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

Martin Luther, the Catholic priest who initiated the Reformation in Germany said that marriage was a "worldly thing ... that belongs to the realm of government." <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/15/how-protestantism-redefined-marriage-huffington-post/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

Gary Becker, an economist at the University of Chicago, won the Nobel Prize partly for describing the family as an economic institution -- a bit like a small firm that employs people with different skills to produce both income and a well-run household. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/15/the-economic-case-for-same-sex-marriage/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Robert Knight at <a href="http://townhall.com/columnists/robertknight/2012/05/15/a_wicked_marriage_proposal">Townhall</a>: Someone should survey pastors who support Obama and ask: Which is more important – electing a man on the basis of race, or upholding the integrity of the faith and what the Scriptures say about marriage? Citing Genesis 2:24, Jesus said in Matthew 19:5: “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”

		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.american.com/archive/2012/may/why-young-voters-wont-tip-the-gay-marriage-debate-anytime-soon">The American</a>: Therefore, any strategy of waiting for demographics to realize the maximalist position of gay marriage advocates across the country looks to be, at the very least, a lengthy endeavor. States on the margins, like California and Washington, where initial bans commanded marginal majorities, might support gay marriage in the near future. But on a wider scale, movement on the issue, though real, is likely to be far too slow to bring about dramatic change nationally anytime soon . . . The gay marriage movement might have other reasons to be a little less optimistic. Young voters change their political views as they age, and the overwhelming liberal tendencies of college campuses are not reflected in the American electorate. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/14/why-young-voters-won%e2%80%99t-tip-the-gay-marriage-debate-anytime-soon/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>
