DENVER – Democratic lawmakers in Colorado are pushing their state off a “moral cliff” with a civil union bill that puts the state on record as opposing religious liberty, according to critics.
The proposal is an attempt to maneuver around the state constitution, which defines marriage as a relationship between one man and one woman, the critics charge.
“We just hurled the state of Colorado over a moral cliff. This is a
major step toward seriously eroding the practice and the concept of
marriage in Colorado and the family,” said state Sen. Kevin Lundberg,
one of the two Republicans on the Judiciary Committee who voted against
the bill.
Lundberg said the bill proposed this year is “even more striking than last year in that they refused an amendment I put up that would exempt private child placement agencies from being impacted by this law.”
“The Democrats refused, saying anyone who is going to place a child in foster care or adoption situations in Colorado cannot refuse a same-sex couple because of moral or religious convictions,” he continued. “They must comply with this force of law.” Read More:
