From WorldCrunch:
With two dramatic actions, the “Religious Right” is suddenly prodding the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn its historic 2015 Obergefell decision, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Such a radical and unpopular switch after only 10 years might seem implausible. A close parallel already happened in the 2022 Dobbs decision when the Court ended its former Roe v. Wade mandate on legal abortion and allowed each state to set its own policy.
The first newsworthy action came in June at the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention, the nation’s largest Protestant denomination with 12.7 million members in 46,876 local congregations. A comprehensive resolution on societal ills urged abolition of Obergefell and any other rulings and laws “that defy God’s design for marriage and family.” Action number two came on July 24 from Liberty Counsel, a Christian non-profit law firm led by Mathew Staver. It petitioned the Supreme Court to reconsider Obergefell on grounds that it has “no basis in the Constitution” and violates religious freedom.
