Santorum: U.S. Must Fight Gay Marriage As World’s ‘Moral Leader’
[su_publirb]
It’s a weighty responsibility being such a moral country as the United States. That’s why, Rick Santorum reasons, we must be at the forefront of the fight against gay marriage.
Appearing on CBS, Santorum was asked about a previous statement that the ruling “disrupts the foundation of the world”.
He said he was concerned with three things: the role of the court in society – a rallying call for 2016 candidates including Mike Huckabee and Bobby Jindal – an “assault on religious liberty” and “a further erosion of this founding building block of society, which is the nuclear family”.
“Over the last 40 years we’ve seen a degradation of the nuclear family, no doubt about it,” said the former Pennsylvania senator who is running for the White House for a second time, having finished second in the primaries in 2012. “But this further put the nail in the coffin.
“We now disconnect the nuclear family from the idea that it is there for the purpose of having and raising children … it’s [now] about adults.
“The United States is still the moral leader of the world. We’ve now disconnected marriages from having children and I think that has profound consequences not just for the United States but for the world.”
