"When we see things like [what happened in] New Jersey, people here get a little worried," the South Dakota pro-family advocate says. "I think that's going to really help all of the other states that are trying to pass marriage amendments," he adds. "It was unfortunate, the ruling; but it was good timing, politically speaking."
Although many factors are now in play that could influence the upcoming vote, Regier feels recent events have raised pro-family voters' awareness of what is at stake, and he is confident enough to make a prediction. "I'm sure South Dakota won't become the first state to lose a marriage amendment," he says.
The other states considering similar amendments are Arizona, Colorado, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Among these, Colorado is unique in that it is also considering an amendment that would legalize same-sex civil unions.
