Speaking about extending domestic partner benefits to state employees, Kleefisch said:
It is ridiculous. But everyone is just up in arms about how Rebecca Kleefisch compared gay marriage to marrying your toaster, and they're just conveniently
Marriage is between one man and one woman (and one God). When people start asking to change that, where do you stop? Men want to marry men. Women want to marry women. What about the men who want to marry more than one woman? What if one or more of those women are underage? What about the pedophile who wants to marry a young child? The guy who wants to marry his dog? Where does it stop? What standards are we using to determine which perversions are OK and which aren't?
There are several steps between redefining marriage to include same sex people and redefining it to include anyone and anything - but she's right, we are on a slippery slope.
"My comments were meant to relay my concern with redefining marriage," Kleefisch said in a statement reported by the Associated Press. - and then she went on to apologize. (Kleefisch Apologizes for Gay Marriage Comments wisn.com)
Why aplogize? I think she voiced a legitimate question, and I'm sick and tired of people who have any kind of standards being labeled as 'extreme' and constantly belittled. None of us should have to constantly walk on eggshells and always worry that something we say might hurt someone's feelings. We wouldn't want to appear 'insensitive' now would we?
I don't worry too much about 'political correctness' because I'm not in politics, nor do I like them. Rebecca Kleefisch, on the other hand, is in politics. Does that really mean she has to compromise her beliefs or pretend to believe something she doesn't. Is that what it means to be politically correct? Might as well turn this country over to those who aren't so "far out of the mainstream" so we can tumble down that slope a little faster. We all know it has to get worse before it can get better - except for those 'mainstream' folks who aren't in a big hurry to see God's Kingdom come.
Do not agree with this decision at all:
In the name of reproductive health? and privacy?
Ummm - judging from those two statements, he's looking out for your unborn children, the ones you refuse to care about. Right to choose? That sounds so innocent, doesn't it? Who can argue with your right to choose? But you don't really want the right to choose, you want the right to kill your unborn children. Call it what it is. It doesn't sound quite so innocent when you say it that way, does it?
You have a right to choose - just do it before you get pregnant.
Ok, I'm done.
