Procreation: Post Hoc Rationalization?
On kids need a mom and dad point:
Ted Olson argued that defendants are changing the subject, bringing post hoc rationalizations in making this case.
Chuck Cooper points to much, much evidence that people DID make this argument (I know I did, I never attended a single meeting in California for Prop 8 in which this wasn’t one of the main points raised.) Voter guide raised it. Op-eds raised it.
Cooper goes on: “This was a frequent theme in the religious communities that were active in Prop 8 and the campaign wasn’t just what Protect Marriage had to say, it was a cacophony of debate ranging from the TV ads to conversations at the office water cooler. People debated this issue in every venue and every forum in civic centers, it was a cacophony and one doesn’t have to pinpoint a particular argument that virtually any argument was being advanced by these very passionate debates."
