Pennsylvania's most colorful Senator — and he would stand out brightly even in the gayest of gay communities — Vince Fumo is proposing to amend the, well, amendment legislation to outlaw divorce with a few exceptions.
Mr. Fumo, who leaves the Senate on Nov. 30, said the stated goal of Senate Bill 1250 is to “protect the sanctity of the marital institution” by defining a legal marriage as only between one man and one woman.
The next logical step, according to Mr. Fumo, is to also outlaw divorces
You know, there just isn't much I can add to that.
Except this … if Vince Fumo will go to such lengths, can't you make a phone call?
We have to start calling our House members soon.
I've heard people defend marriage between one man and one woman only, giving the reason as that the state wants to promote families having children. If that's true, then why don't we dissolve all childless marriages?
Phoo..
For what it's worth, I think that any consenting adults should be able to be married by a civil authority. I would still support the right of a given religion to refuse as they do now, but I don't see why the marriage of any consenting adults should be treated differently by government or business entities.
Ban divorce for couples with children. It stands to reason that if we don't want gay couples or individuals adopting children and children need two parent heterosexual households to combat homosexuals wanting to provide loving, stable, supportive homes for children then we should make sure that those two parent homes stay intact.
