The Iowa Supreme Court judges unanimously legislated Iowa law to be changed in 2009. From the beginning of time marriage has been between one man and one woman but these judges changed Natural law to something else in Iowa’s law books. One of the many effects is the rewriting of language that refer to a husband and a wife. Copied below is just a part taken from a house study bill concerning taxes showing some of these language changes. You’ll need to overlook the bill’s line numbers as it does not read nicely in this format.
While this is just one bill the Iowa legislators are looking at right now requiring langue changes, do you wonder how many more language changes we will face since the judges legislation on defining marriage? How many more language changes in laws, legal documents, marriage ceremonies, and teacher to parent conferences? Iowa school children have access to many library books about families with one mom and one dad. What about these books our children read in school? Do you think the gay activists have thought about that? You can bet they have — that, and much more. This is not about simple word changes and it’s not about tolerating other’s changed sexual preferences. This is about change in our beliefs. If you believe like I do that God ordained marriage only between one man and one woman, put feet to your convictions. Contact Iowa legislators – any of them / all of them. http://www.luviowa.com/

A similar bill with language changing is SSB 3200. In the House, the floor manager for HSB 705 is Rep. Sharon Steckman and subcommittee members are Rep. Charles Isenhart and Rep. Erik Helland. In the Senate, the floor manager for SSB 3200 is Sen. Pam Jochum, subcommittee members are Sen. Joe Bolkcom and Sen. Brad Zaun. Instead of taking time to redefine marriage, lawmakers need to take up the Iowa Marriage Amendment and begin the process of letting Iowans vote on the definition of marriage.
