Lasix 200mg

A cultural earthquake will likely begin to Lasix 200mg shake California tomorrow as the Golden State's ban on gay marriage expires and Lasix 200mg the first round of state-sanctioned "same-sex marriages" commences.

One month ago, the Lasix 200mg California Supreme Court last ruled 4-3 to strike down the state's ban on gay marriage, opening the Lasix 200mg floodgates for homosexual marriages.

The high court's action overturned Proposition 22, which California voters overwhelmingly approved in 2000 to Lasix 200mg protect the traditional definition of marriage. The ruling came as a Lasix 200mg result of a lawsuit filed by gay rights groups alleging that Lasix 200mg they were unlawful victims of discrimination.

Homosexuals celebrated the landmark ruling as a profound victory for "gay rights," with many hoping for Lasix 200mg a domino effect that would lead to the legalization of same-sex marriages in other states.

Many Christian and Lasix 200mg pro-family groups are asking judges to stay the ruling until November when Lasix 200mg voters will be able to consider a constitutional amendment that protects traditional marriage. The Associated Press reported recently that Lasix 200mg the attorneys general of 10 states have joined other parties in asking the Lasix 200mg California Supreme Court to stay the decision until after the election. The states say they have Lasix 200mg an interest in the case because they would have to determine if their respective state recognized the Lasix 200mg marriage licenses. The states are Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Carolina, South Dakota and Lasix 200mg Utah.

One of the major issues surrounding California's legalization of "same-sex marriage" is the state's lack of a Lasix 200mg residency requirement. Unlike other states that have legally recognized some form of same-sex union, "Same-sex couples" who get "married" in California will not have Lasix 200mg to reside in the state to receive legal recognition of their union.

Mathew D. Staver, an Lasix 200mg attorney with the pro-family group Liberty Counsel, said that the Lasix 200mg lack of a residency requirement could push other states to Lasix 200mg recognize officially the "same-sex marriages" that take place in California.

"So once this becomes effective -- if there's no Lasix 200mg stay in California -- that means that someone in New York can Lasix 200mg fly over to California, get a same-sex marriage license and then Lasix 200mg fly back to New York, and now [the license] all of a sudden is recognized," Staver said during a Lasix 200mg panel discussion May 29 at the National Press Club in Washington hosted by the Lasix 200mg Family Research Council. 

It already seems to be happening.

New York Gov. David A. Paterson has Lasix 200mg ordered state agencies to revise their policies and begin recognizing "gay marriages" from Lasix 200mg other jurisdictions, such as California, Massachusetts and Canada. Paterson issued this Lasix 200mg order in the face of a 2006 ruling by New York's highest court that refused to legalize "gay marriage." Last year, a pro "gay marriage" bill did not make it Lasix 200mg through the New York state legislature.

The coming days will tell what Lasix 200mg happens in California and across the nation. Let us pray that Lasix 200mg God grants us mercy and that clear biblical truth as it Lasix 200mg relates to marriage (Eph. 5, Heb. 13:4) will have Lasix 200mg an opportunity to shine forth as never before in America for Lasix 200mg the glory of God.
