Phil Lawler: ?Contraception: Why we?re losing the arguments on same-sex marriage?

By Alliance Alert

Phil Lawler writing at Catholic Culture: "'Gender no longer forms an essential part of marriage,' Judge Walker asserts, and by his decision he seeks to make it so. But he offers no logical support for that bald assertion. The words 'no longer' in the judge?s sentence are suggestive. Was there a time when gender was an essential part of marriage, but now that time has passed? If so, what has changed? Has there been some fundamental change in human nature? Or some fundamental change in our understanding of marriage? There is, unfortunately, a gaping hole in the arguments that have been advanced by many supporters of traditional marriage. There has been a fundamental change in the popular understanding of marriage: the widespread acceptance of contraception."
