Ninth Circus: Government can censor terms "Natural family, marriage and family values"

NINTH CIRCUIT DECLARES RIGHT OF GOVERNMENT TO CENSOR THE TERMS "NATURAL FAMILY," "MARRIAGE" & "FAMILY VALUES"

Earlier this week, San Francisco's United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in the matter of Good News Employees Association v. Hicks that the municipal employers can completely censor the terms "natural family," "marriage" and "family values" as hate speech. The unpublished "memorandum" by the Court can be found at www.profamilylawcenter.com/_docs/35.pdf.

The court concluded that municipalities have a right to literally dictate what form an employee's speech may take, even if it is in regard to controversial public issues. Shockingly, the court concluded that the interest of Christian employees in speaking out on the issue of marriage is "vanishingly small" and that the "administrative" interests of a city are more important than speech rights. The court completely failed to address the concerns of the appellants with respect to the fact that the City of Oakland's Gay-Straight Employees Alliance was openly allowed to attack the Bible in widespread city e-mails, to deride Christian values as antiquated, and to refer to Bible-believing Christians as hateful. When the plaintiffs attempted to refute this blatant attack on people of faith, they were threatened with immediate termination by the City of Oakland. The Ninth Circuit did not feel that the threat of immediate termination had any effect on free speech.

The Pro-Family Law Center vows to immediately take this ruling up to the United States Supreme Court on a petition for review.


This is exactly what should be expected, since, as a nation, we have chosen to weaken the understanding of traditional marriage, our moral values, the dignity of human life, of good and evil, etc., by adopting a contraceptive mentality and legalizing the murder of our own unborn children. Rights? What rights! We have given our freedoms and rights to Satan so that we can 'freely' indulge in sexual gratifications and self-indulgent perversions of all sorts without fear or responsibility.

Mother Teresa indicated that any country which kills its own children will lose its freedom. Fr John Hardon said that unless our moral disease is cured, the United States as a nation, will disappear. Pope John Paul told the youth in Denver to “Pray that America might not lose its soul.”

And Pope Paul VI warned us of this nearly 40 years ago in his prophetic encyclical "Humanae Vitae".

Has we, as a country, lost our soul? The persecution is just beginning. And we are seeing it all over the world. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
