Greg Abbott: Banning Gay Marriage Reduces Out-Of-Wedlock Births

[sabbat hunter]

In a brief filed with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday, Attorney General Greg Abbott claims that the State of Texas' ban on same-sex marriage reduces out-of-wedlock births, and legalizing same-sex marriage would make different-sex couples less interested in marrying and having children.

WTF?!?!

1. Based on what he seems to know about biology

I would expect it's the other way around.

2. Let's assume Abbott is correct (which he isn't). Why does that trump the 14th Amendment?

As an AG, doesn't he know the US Constitution trumps a state constitution when there is a conflict? Seriously, how stupid is he?

3. Say what now?

Did nobody go over the birds and the bees with him?

4. Greg Abbott is bad at his job.

Thank boB.

5. ... and, of course, he has the data to back up this assertion ...

... we're waiting ...

6. [In what alternate reality

does that make the slightest bit of sense? And this guy's probably going to be governor? They keep getting dumber and dumber. Eventually, they'll just elect a fire hydrant or something for governor...
