Really? the oldest just turned 21, and waited until he was 18 to have sex with his girlfriend. They have been together since they were 16. They ARE part of this generation.
my kids are doing just fine...
I have a 10, 8 and a 3 year old...so none of these issues have reared their ugly head yet.
So, as of 8:44 AM EST 5/13/2013 my family values are working just fine.
My concern doesn't come from my own personal experiences. Just to clear that up.
It has happened before, and legal precedence counts for a lot in the court system.
S/he said the feds would make ssm legal. I take that to mean congress will pass and a prez will sign a law that forces states to accept ssm. Far-fetched legally and politically.

The supreme court is the judicial branch of the federal government.
Plus there is the respect for marriage act that is supposed to be reintroduced this session. The bill would repeal DOMA.
Neither can you...so stop pandering to the federal government to do so.
I haven't pandered to the feds to do anything with plan B. I personally don't care about plan B, but I'm glad it's available. The average cost of plan B is $45. Where are 15 year olds going to get $45? I know mine didn't have that kind of cash laying around. The had it in their bank accounts, which needed me to access.
I don't believe you construe that as the supreme court. Anyway,
If your prediction about the sc eventually making ssm legal nationally, good. Your confidence is greater than mine.
BTW, in a bizarre way, the more states that adopt ssm, the Less likely the 'compelling' interest standard will be used.
YOU may not consider the supreme court the feds, but I do as they are part of the federal government.
Why do you think that? A state has to show how denying SSM furthers a compelling state interest. That would go for any state no matter how many states have passed it on their own.
