Beware of Initiative 957
Initiative 957 is titled: The Defense of Marriage Initiative. It is deceptive advertising. According to the Initiative's website, it would change the Marriage laws in Washington State as follows: marriage would only be legal between persons capable of having children together; couples married in Washington state would have their marriage automatically annulled if they cannot prove they procreated within three years of the date of their marriage; couples married out of state would have their marriage declared "unrecognized" by the state if they could not prove procreation; it would provide a system for filing procreation certification; and it would be a criminal act to give benefits to an "unrecognized" relationship. At first I thought this was a joke, but it is a real attack upon the natural family. Read the fine print is good policy before signing any initiative petition.
Here is a CBS News article that gives more background.
