Marriage, Reproductive Justice & Other Privacy Issues

Subscribe to RSS - Marriage, Reproductive Justice & Other Privacy Issues

Marriage, reproduction and other privacy issues are some of the intimate and personal matters affecting Americans. As much as possible, decisions about these issues should be left to the individual. Government must refrain from basing policy in these areas on any group's theology. Laws in this area should reflect secular rationales and, as much as possible, respect private choice and individual rights.
