God, nature intend for man to be with woman

We Iowans must protect marriage with an amendment to the state constitution. It is obvious our politicians and courts have been hijacked by groups that intend to destroy the very essence of what marriage has always been. Marriage must be protected from any and all parasites that seek to destroy her.
There are “laws of nature” that we must protect. “Marriage between a man and a woman” is one of those laws.
The framers of the Declaration of Independence expressed it this way: “the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God,” clearly stating that there are established laws that cannot be changed by men. Marriage was ordained from the beginning by Nature's God, “for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh,” and being ordained by Nature's God, man neither has the authority or right to change it.
We must protect marriage from adultery, bigamy, polygamy, fathers marrying daughters, mothers marrying sons, brothers marrying sisters, humans marrying animals, men with men, women with women, adults with children, and children with children. If the courts allow one group from this list to marry, then how can they deny that right to the others?
