Push to protect traditional marriage in Indiana state

Indiana remains one of the nation's most conservative states not to adopt a constitutional marriage amendment, and a few legislators are trying to change that, reports Baptist Press.

The Republican-controlled state Senate Judiciary Committee approved such an amendment Jan. 20 along a 6-4 vote, sending it to the full Senate. It likely would pass there but face an uphill climb in the Democrat-controlled House, where House Speaker B. Patrick Bauer has repeatedly blocked attempts to pass a marriage amendment.

Amending the constitution is a lengthy process under Indiana law, requiring passage in two consecutive sessions of the House and Senate and support by a majority of voters. It nearly made it to the ballot several years ago but stalled in a House committee after Democrats won back the House in 2006. It had already passed the Senate twice and the then-GOP-controlled House once.

A majority of states (30) have adopted constitutional marriage amendments.
