While President Obama defined same-sex marriage as a "civil right" in his State of the Union Speech, Republican 2016 presidential contenders are stepping up the pressure on the Supreme Court, which has agreed to hear a case which could make gay marriage legal in all 50 states.
Conservative Dr. Ben Carson called for Congress to recall any Supreme Court judge who votes in favor of gay marriage, while former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has called on states to not automatically allow gay marriage if the court rules that it is legal.

The overwhelming majority of Americans remain very uncomfortable about
abortion, with 84 percent wanting it limited to, at most, the first 90
days of pregnancy, according to a new Knights of Columbus-Marist poll.
Almost seven in 10 (69 percent) who identify themselves as "pro-choice" favor this limit on abortion, the survey found.

The best we can and should hope for on the marriage definition question is to continue to enforce this as a State issue and not expand marriage as a federal issue. It is not a civil rights issue because that is what will open the door for an "anything goes" claim - polygamy, incest, etc., you name it. Surely the SCOTUS can see this inevitability if they tamper with a basic concept of Marriage.
