The Senate Concurrent Resolution expresses strong opposition to the Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The resolution argues that the ruling contradicts the U.S. Constitution and the foundational principles of individual liberty, suggesting that it misinterprets the concept of liberty as a government entitlement rather than an inherent right. It contends that the decision undermines the traditional definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman, a definition that has been upheld for centuries, and asserts that marriage regulation should be the prerogative of individual states rather than the federal government.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the Iowa General Assembly to formally reject the Obergefell decision and urges the Supreme Court to reverse it, thereby restoring the traditional definition of marriage and returning the authority over marriage laws to the states and their citizens. It emphasizes that court rulings should not be equated with laws, as only legislatures have the authority to enact laws. The resolution concludes with a directive to distribute copies of this resolution to the Supreme Court of the United States.
