Yugar Productions Interactive Campus Programming presents ...   "Talking About the Freedom to Marry" The Constitution and its subsequent amendments were designed to protect and expand individual liberties, such as granting women the right to vote and establishing that separate is not equal.  The Constitution was not designed to revoke or restrict these liberties. From the White House: President Bush commented in a July 30, 2003 press conference about efforts to amend the constitution by defining marriage in the United States as being between one man and one woman. Clearly, this is a historic moment in the history of the United States.  If the amendment makes it through the difficult process necessary to amend the Constitution, this would be the first time in history that the Constitution was amended to restrict the rights of a whole class of people, in conflict with its guiding principle to provide equal protection for all.
