Challenge to Obergefell

This post originally appeared at https://wifamilycouncil.org/radio/challenge-to-obergefell/

Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who, in the wake of the US Supreme Court’s 2015 Obergefell decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide, would not issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples because of her religious beliefs, has petitioned the high court to take her case, presenting two arguments: that the Constitution protects public officials from being forced to personally endorse actions that violate their faith; and that Obergefell itself was, “egregiously wrong,” and should be overturned.

We applaud and support Davis’s bold stand for religious liberty and biblical marriage. Same-sex marriage clearly violates God’s design for marriage and family and endangers the well-being of children. We hope the Supreme Court will take up Davis’s case, correct this egregious error, and honor God’s design by overturning Obergefell.
