In an interesting move of political satire, there's a guy collecting signatures to get a divorce ban on the California ballot. If the comments on this Los Angeles Times blog are any indication, a lot of people mistakenly assume that this guy is part of the "traditional values" political crowd. He isn't but, he claims to adapt the arguments of the campaign in favor of the California Marriage Amendment towards his "movement" to ban divorce in California.
As a married California man who is the sole income earner in my family, a divorce ban would be to my benefit. I don't focus on that, though, in the two blog entries I posted today at The Opine Editorials. First, I wrote in general about the situation here, and then I get into some of the reasons why an ardent supporter of the California Marriage Amendment is not obligated to support a ban on divorce, especially as proposed by this guy, though we could probably do well with some legal reforms in family law.
I turn the question back around, though.
Come to think of it, is there a single prominent voice against divorce that the marriage neutering advocates have ever been anything but hostile towards?
