"Advocates of Same-Sex Marriage Continue to Force Compliance Against the Will of Californians
The Proposition 8 Campaign reacted strongly to the California Supreme Court’s ruling that California doctors who have religious objections to artificially inseminating same-sex couples can no longer refuse to treat them. The Court’s decision overturns a previous state Appeals Court decision which ruled in favor of the doctors in 2005.
“This latest ruling proves that advocates of same-sex marriage are not simply seeking tolerance, but rather are pushing for compliance in every corner of California society. They will stop at nothing to chip away at the free speech rights and the rights of conscience of Californians everywhere, forcing individuals to accept their lifestyle even against a person’s personal or religious beliefs. It is a slippery slope against the individual rights of Californians,” stated Ron Prentice, on behalf of the Campaign.
The Supreme Court rejected a San Diego County fertility clinic’s right to refuse performing a procedure. North Coast Women’s Care in Vista declined to perform an intrauterine insemination for an individual, and referred the individual to another facility. The ruling is the first of its kind in the nation and stresses the importance of standing up to protect marriage.
Knights of Columbus Catholic Organization Donates $1 Million to Prop. 8
Just this last week, the Knights of Columbus, the world’s largest Catholic family fraternal service organization, donated $1 million to Proposition 8. Throughout its history, the Knights of Columbus has been an effective advocate and defender of civil and religious rights for all. The organization has also contributed billions of dollars and millions of hours of volunteer service to charity. Knights of Columbus spokesman Patrick Korten said that the million dollar donation from the Knights “is both an indication of how important we believe this referendum to be, and an encouragement to other groups and individuals of all faiths to lend their support as well.” He went on to stress that the importance of, “preserving marriage as the indispensable institution in which children are conceived, born and raised to adulthood by a loving father and mother is vital to a healthy society. It is also the most favorable environment in which to protect the rights and best interests of children.”
This generous donation from the Knights of Columbus shows the broad-based support that Proposition 8 is receiving from a variety of faith-based organizations. Now is the time to join the Knights of Columbus in protecting marriage!"
People need to know how this will affect our rights if we do not vote to pass Prop 8. Please tell your friends and family about these rulings before it comes time to vote on November 4th!!!

It's only one of many examples. What about the church that lost its tax-exempt status in Massachusettes for refusing a same-sex wedding in its facilities? What about the woman and her husband whose photography business was sued for not taking pictures at a same-sex wedding? If we do not pass Prop 8, that is only the beginning. Individual rights of choice are being taken away. The government is going to force people to accept homosexuality as being morally okay. That is not a choice that the government can make for people. The doctor did not refuse a heart transplant. He did not refuse to treat her in an ER when her life was in danger. He just did not feel right helping a same-sex couple conceive a child and he referred them to someone else who would. It went against everything he stood for.
I love how you know your stuff stacy!! Thank you for pushing this so hard and helping people to know the facts and get involved!
My dad was in CA this week and went knocking on doors telling people about prop 8. He said it was a great experience and really eye opening.
Correction: the Methodist church was not in Massachusetts. It was in New Jersey.
If prop 8 doesn't pass, then all kinds of people will come out saying they are being discriminated against. People will say if gays can marry, why can't I have several spouses? People will say the government can't make any choices for them and eventually our government will not be able to protect us and we will go towards anarchy. Think about it, Scary!
