Pres. Bush and Same Sex Marriages

President Bush called again for a constitutional amendment to protect marriage in the United States today as same-sex marriages became legal in the state of Massachusett's.

As reported by CNN, President Bush offered the following written statement:

"The sacred institution of marriage should not be redefined by a few activist judges. All Americans have a right to be heard in this debate," the president said in a written statement.

"I called on the Congress to pass, and to send to the states for ratification, an amendment to our Constitution defining and protecting marriage as a union of a man and a woman as husband and wife. The need for that amendment is still urgent, and I repeat that call today."
