Here is some information from the Liberty Counsel on this bill:
Vote NO on HR 8404!
Same-Sex Marriage. Child Bride Marriages. No Religious Freedom.
These will ALL become legal if HR 8404 passes.
HR 8404 forces every state to accept, honor and obey the crazy “marriage” laws of any other state.
Beyond same-sex marriage, HR 8404 empowers a state to force its marriage laws upon other states and territories. A handful of states like California have no minimum age for marriage, resulting in the terrible abuse often referred to as “child bride marriage.” These marriages are often forced upon young minors who were sexually abused or forced into such relationships.
The bill has essentially no religious liberty protections. The fact that three religious liberty amendments were rejected by the Senate (proposed by Sens. Lee, Lankford and Rubio) in favor of the Baldwin-Collins amendment illustrates the open disdain the bill presents to religious freedom.
California already allows adults to marry children of any age. As a result, there are several instances on the California marriage database of men in their 40s and 50s marrying elementary age children.
If you object to a pedophile marrying a child, YOU can be sued.
If you try to help these children escape their legal bondage to a pedophile, YOU can be sued.
If you refuse to bake a wedding cake or create a website for a same- sex “wedding,” YOU can be sued.
In other words, despite claiming to have a “religious freedom” exemption, this horrible bill targets individuals and most institutions.
