Marriage Prevails/Parental Notification Defeated

Arizona, Florida, and California voters have provided a clear win for traditional marriage! The Constitution of these states has been amended to limit marriage to one man and one woman. Thank God for these victories!

However, for some reason, many in the media have delayed making the “official” call in the grand-daddy of them all – California! As of 10:30PST, the California Secretary of State’s website showed a 52.2% to 47.8% vote in favor of traditional marriage with 96.4% of precincts reporting. Our battle is not over … Fox News has reported that the City of San Francisco intends to take legal action against Prop 8!

Prop 4 was defeated with a 47.7% to 52.3% vote. Prop 4 would have required doctors to notify an adult family member within 48 hours before performing an abortion on an unemancipated minor. It is incredible that the voters in California would choose to provide greater protection to farm animals than young girls and babies! The people of California voted in favor of Prop 2 – an initiative that increases regulations regarding the confinement of animals on factory farms - by a margin of 63.3% to 36.7%.

It is outrageous that increased regulations to protect farm animals were an overwhelming success, while a majority of voters failed to approve a measure providing for the protection of our children! Keep praying for America as there are sure to be many more cultural battles ahead that will impact religious liberty and the values we share.
