Utah students demand evidence from professor after he signs absurd letter in same-sex marriage case

At least 56 med school students at the University of Utah are asking Professor Richard Farnsworth for proof:
“We saw his signature on the amicus brief that said that legalizing same-sex marriage would cause 900,000 abortions,” he said. “[That] didn’t make sense to us.”

Dr. Richard Farnsworth was among 100 medical professionals who signed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court, arguing that same-sex marriage is bad for families.

They claim legal gay marriage will lead to an additional 900,000 abortions and 600,000 more children being born to unmarried women.

Hard to believe any such evidence exists for these outrageous claims. The students aren't asking for him to be fired, but they do want to know why he would sign such a letter.

The link between same-sex marriage and an increase in abortions absolutely escapes me. But, then again, virtually everything that passes as 'logic' to rwnjs is beyond my rational mind.
