Washington- Three of the four Iowa representatives in the US House have voted for the bill that ensures that same-sex marriage is recognized in all 50 states.
Radio Iowa reports that Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson says the bill preserves current law.
“It’s the full faith and credit clause of the U.S. Constitution where you look at birth certificates, death certificates and I believe concealed carry permits apply to this same standards,” Hinson says, “so I think that same standard should apply to marriage certificates in all states and that’s why I supported it.”
Hinson made her comments during a taping of Iowa press on Iowa PBS. Iowa Democratic congresswoman Cindy Axne and Republican congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks also voted in favor of the bill, which guarantees recognition of same-sex and interracial marriage.
Iowa congressman Randy Feenstra was the only Iowa representative to vote against the bill.
