EDMOND, Oklahoma -- Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, has endorsed an Oklahoma-based petition in what state allies said was his "first hard-line conservative stand on abortion and same sex marriage." Trump made the announcement, via email, to the group Protect Life and Marriage Oklahoma.

"I think Donald Trump saw the rationale behind our movement and agreed with the logic," says Pastor Paul Blair, President of Protect Life and Marriage Oklahoma.

"The Supreme Court egregiously overstepped its authority with both Roe v Wade and the Obergefell decision which mandates that states must approve marriage licenses for anyone and everyone. I think Trump agrees we can not allow the Supreme Court to grant itself powers that go vastly beyond the authority clearly spelled out in the Constitution."

In an email to Protect Life and Marriage Oklahoma, Blair said Donald Trump expressed both his support for the group's online petition and the principles behind it, Blair said.

Trump said in his communication: "I support the thousands of Oklahomans who are standing up and protecting life and marriage in their state."

No surprises here, just more intolerance and bigotry.  Don't those pastors have some poor to feed and homeless to shelter when they are looking for lives to protect?? ;)
