Colorado Springs, Colo. -- Focus on the Family Action founder and chairman Dr. James C. Dobson issued the following statement today in response to an Iowa judge’s ruling today striking down the state’s Defense of Marriage Act.:
“Once again, we see an activist judge handing liberal activists what they have not been able to achieve legislatively or at the ballot box: government sanctioning of same-sex marriage. This purely political ruling proves yet again that nothing short of a federal marriage-protection amendment is sufficient to preserve one man, one-woman marriage in our nation. “By striking down Iowa’s DOMA, Judge Robert Hanson has shown he believes the desires of adults should trump what’s best for children. His ruling represents social engineering at its worst.”
