JORDAN: Describe his three general models of marriage.
|
1) SACRAMENTAL model: based on religious beliefs; 2) COMMUNIONAL model: based on biology, the natural union of males and females, and reproduction; 3) TRANSACTIONAL model: based on contract between choices and desires
|
|
|
JORDAN: How do his three models of marriage serve as an argument against gay marriage?
|
The religious nature of the Sacramental should not influence policy. The remaining models are secular. Gays use the transactional model (choice and desire) in support, but Jordan says that legalizing gay marriage means the state FAVORS THE TRANSACTIONAL MODEL over the communional. By not supporting gay marriage, the STATE REMAINS NETURAL between these two secular marriage models.

On the other hand, these same women are hindered in their opportunity to get an abortion); 3) Restrictive abortion legislation TREATS WOMEN UNEQUALLY. The law generally does not require individuals to make significant sacrifices of their time and labor in order to save the lives of others in matters other than pregnancy.
