Prop. 107, among its many components, would cancel existing and prevent future domestic partnership benefits offered by private sector employers. This is a violation of the fundamental rights of private property, freedom of association and is an unwarranted intrusion of government into the private contracts between employers and employees. The government has neither the right nor authority to regulate these benefits in the private sector.

Prop. 107 is promoted as “protecting” the sanctity and tradition of marriage as between a man and a woman. Their argument is flawed and addressed in our Prop. 107 (argument 1). Other groups protest 107 for removing current and prohibiting future domestic partnership benefits for employees of the State and its political subdivisions. Their argument is also flawed but is irrelevant to this discussion. It is within the rights of the people to determine what their government does.
