BREAKING: Concerned Women for America Press Release Discovered
This just in! A press release from the Concerned Women for America responding to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Loving v. Virginia, which struck down Virginia's law banning interracial marriage, has just been discovered!
U.S. Supreme Court Betrays "We the People" on Marriage
June 12,1967
Washington, D.C. - Today the U.S. Supreme Court imposed, through judicial fiat, so-called interracial marriage on Americans, thus totally disregarding the sanctity of marriage and the will of the people. Virginians enacted Section 20-57 of the Virginia Code to protect marriage and maintain its definition as a union between two white persons or two colored persons, and expressly prohibiting the state from recognizing interracial marriages.
. . .
Matt Barber,1 CWA Policy Director for Cultural Issues, said "The U.S. Supreme Court has engaged in the worst kind of judicial activism today, abandoning its role as an objective interpreter of the law and, instead, legislating from the bench. It's absurd to suggest that the framers of the U.S. Constitution could have ever imagined there'd be a day when so-called 'interracial marriage' would even be conceptualized, much less seriously considered. If anyone then had suggested the ridiculous notion, early Americans would have laughed their smocks off.
"So-called 'interracial' marriage is counterfeit marriage. Marriage is, and has always been, between two white persons or two colored persons. We know that it's in the best interest of children to be raised with same race parents. To use children as guinea pigs in radical San Francisco-style social experimentation is deplorable."
. . .
"If people who engage in immoral interracial behavior want to dress up and play house, that's their prerogative, but we shouldn't destroy the institutions of legitimate marriage and family in order to help facilitate a counterfeit.
"On a positive note, the Court's decision today will likely serve as a wake-up call to both Americans across the country. I'm certain this decision will help fuel a Constitutional amendment which would protect marriage as between two white persons or two colored persons."
1 I sometimes wonder whether the irony of having men run the Concerned Women for America is lost on them.
But seriously, the actual press release is a joke too.
