If I am reading this correctly, Alabama is getting out of marriage game. This is pretty much what I have been advocating for sometime. It's almost hard for me to believe that Alabama is close to doing this. Let the state record the union/marriage but get out of the business of 'consecrating' it. Societies only grow more liberal over time and so if you are a conservative you don't want the government defining marriage for you. A libertarian approach is much better.
Thoughts? Am I missing something here?
Mods - can you correct the spelling in the title?
