In a 5-4 decision, the United States Supreme Court has ruled that states can not prevent same-sex couples from marrying and must recognize their marriages from other states. In the majority opinion by Justice Kennedy it is stated:
The Court, in this decision, holds same-sex couples may exercise the fundamental right to marry in all States. It follows that the Court also must hold—and it now does hold—that there is no lawful basis for a State to refuse to recognize a lawful same-sex marriage performed in another State on the ground of its same-sex character.
...and:
It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization's oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right. The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is reversed. It is so ordered.

Well, maybe if Bristol Palin had been taught that she wouldn't be calling her unborn child "a huge disappointment to [her] family and close friends" right now.

I was hoping the quote applied to her pregnant state, not her fetus.
But coming from the daughter of Palin (aptly named B.P.), you never know.

No worries for her. According to Todd Akin, If she pretends, really, really hard, that she was legitimately raped, her body should reject the pregnancy.
