 Pennsylvania
families need your help if we're going to protect marriage in our
state. The State House of Representatives are now considering a bill to
protect marriage in our State Constitution - and we need you to help make that happen.
As
you know, we need this amendment because marriage between husband and
wife benefits society in a way that no other relationship does. When our
laws recognize marriage, it protects children by encouraging men and
women to commit to each other and to take responsibility for their
children.
Our state lacks protection of our marriage law. 39
states define marriage as the union of a man and a woman - including
Pennsylvania. However, that definition is not in our State Constitution;
leaving it vulnerable to redefinition by our legislature or court
decision. Indeed, right now in Federal Court in Philadelphia, our
Independence Law Center is defending Pennsylvania's marriage law from a
constitutional challenge that seeks to redefine marriage. Please take action today!
