People paying any attention to current events have known that President Barak Obama has personally supported same-sex marriage for a long time.  He is now being honest enough to openly tell the American people.

President Obama recently announced that his views on marriage have “evolved” enough so that he now supports same-sex marriage, but not enough to do anything about it on the federal level (on this, it seems, President Obama has finally seen the benefits of Federalism).  Governor Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, has reaffirmed his opposition to “gay marriage” and his firm belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

The president has given the American people a clear choice in the November election.  They can vote to support traditional marriage—the foundation of civilized society—or to allow it to be radically redefined to assuage the demands of a vocal minority seeking public legitimacy for sexual immorality.

The Weekly Standard reports.  Excerpt:

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has taken a bold stand for religious freedom. In a recent statement, titled “Our First, Most Cherished Liberty,” the bishops call for repeal of contraception coverage mandated by the Department of Health and Human Services. The clarified position sets up a dramatic confrontation with the Obama administration—and would, if the bishops prevail, help preserve the religious liberty of all Americans.

The Obama administration recently announced that all employers, including the Catholic charities and other religious organizations, must provide contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs in their employee health plans.  Richard Doerflinger decry’s the abortion aspect.  Mark Steyn explains how the administration is, in effect, elevating itself as “supreme” above religious institutions.  Andy McCarthy explains why the rationale for the contraception-mandate is faulty.

It’s easy to see the cultural decay in our nation and lose hope.  But one recent story shows that the Holy Spirit is still working in hearts and minds.  A Victoria’s Secret model, who has been growing in her Christian faith, has quit her job in order to save her body for her husband.  This is an encouraging news item for those who are grieved by our over-sexualized culture and who often are tempted to believe the lies of our sinful flesh.

One of the first companies to get into the business of destroying human embryos for stem cell research has decided to terminate or sell its embryonic stem cell research program in order to focus on more profitable cancer research.  This is just another indication that embryonic stem cell research is not just unethical, it’s also unprofitable.  Taxpayer dollars should not be spent on such research, especially since ethical forms of adult stem cell research and induced pluripotent stem cell research offer so much potential.
