Title: CA Proposal To Ban Divorce
Post by: Darth Cupcake on December 01, 2009, 07:28:15 PM
I've been skulky lately, so hopefully this hasn't already been posted... I tried to do a quick trawl to check that it wasn't repost. Sorry if it is.

Anyways: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_banning_divorce

There's a guy in California pushing to ban divorce, since he has noted that California really cares about protecting the "sanctity of traditional marriage." :lulz:

True, but it will be fun to watch the fundies try to sputter out the reasons why gay marriage needs to be outlawed but divorce is perfectly fine.

Why would they do that?  I'm sure they're thrilled.

Because I LIKE dealing with software that doesn't fucking work, and having to wade through 10 fucking pages of Beyonce and the GODDAMN JONAS BROTHERS before they finally give me a fucking search prompt to find some REAL FUCKING MUSIC.

They actually don't seem to be, going by the article.

QuoteNot surprisingly, Marcotte's campaign to make divorce in California illegal has divided those involved in last year's campaign for and against Proposition 8.

As much as everyone would like to see fewer divorces, making it illegal would be "impractical," said Ron Prentice, the executive director of the California Family Council who led a coalition of religious and conservative groups to qualify Proposition 8.

I think it's a case of "this could actually, you know, affect us" that is causing some distress here.  Religion is much easier when you are telling others what to do, instead of being told what to do.

Exactly.

While I doubt that this proposal will actually pass, or do anything to undermine the hold of the whole "we're preserving the sanctity of traditional marriage!" thing, it's still pretty awesome to see someone pushing this.

I'm ALL ABOUT divorce staying legal, mind you, but I also love the idea of fundies reaping what they've sown.

we should propose a bill that forces fundies to stay married to eachother, and if they break the law by getting divorced, the penalty is being forced to marry this guy:

I think it should also be noted that a good deal of the search results for "sparkly prancing queen" were, in fact, edward cullen from twilight.   :lulz:
