WASHINGTON (AP) - Conservative Christian and traditional Roman Catholic leaders have issued a declaration and warning today on what they're calling "moral issues of great concern."
The "Manhattan Declaration, A Call of Christian Conscience," reaffirms their opposition to abortion and gay marriage and pledges to protect religious freedoms.
The declaration warns that opening a legal door for gay marriage would do the same for most other forms of human relationships.
The declaration also cites threats to health care workers' conscience clauses and anti-discrimination statutes it argues impinge on religious freedoms.
More than 150 Christian leaders endorsed the declaration.
