I wonder what constitutes “voidable”. In CA I might not have been able to divorce my abusive wife, because I didn’t have that much proof, and anyway, in many of the more liberal judges’ minds men can’t be abused by women.
I don’t know what the motivation for this was, but many people would probably agree that divorce is too easy.
(ready for flames)
Sounds like a great way to further reduce the number of marriages.
What a stupid idea.
Some things just go too far.
More control brought to you by Government.
Well the one woman - one man marriage idea would make divorce illegal. It isn’t one man or one woman at a time. It is one man-one woman marriage.
The poster signed up to FR today. The site linked is actually a pro same sex marriage site.
The “anti-divorce” bill is obviously a sort of an attempt at satire. Their point would seem to be “Heterosexuals sometimes get divorced, therefore we should allow men to marry men and women to marry women.”
the state is bankrupt and productive people are bailing out but the legislature continues it’s experiments in social and environmental engineering
The following is what I found...
RescueMarriage.org is the brain-child of concerned Christian and political activist John Marcotte, who felt strongly that Prop 8 did not go far enough in protecting traditional marriage. With the help of attorney’s and friends, Marcotte is attempting to ban divorce in the State of California.
Great idea and a perfect way to protect marriage.
Although I support the concept in principle, I don’t believe this is a serious push by a conservative group or Christian organization. It seems to me that this is more likely a stunt by bitter leftwing homosexuals...an answer of sorts to Prop. 8. These people think they can show that the real motivation behind Prop. 8 wasn’t the protection of marriage but rather the hatred of gays. At least that seems to be their theory of operation on this...
Just looked at the filing at the Secretary of State’s office. This is NOT on the ballot, it was just submitted for processing so that signature gathering could begin. Lots of initiatives are filed, very few ever get on the ballot.
This is one of the dumbest things anyone could do.
It gives the state waaaay tooo much say and authority over peoples private lives. Bad enough that one needs to have a state approval of their mariage. This even if it makes the ballot will NEVER pass
Sounds good to me, at least on the surface. Divorce does far more damage to our society than homosexuality.
IBTZ?
I need to know so that I can use my vote and modest contributions to ensure they never achieve power...either directly, or through proxy.
If so, and this poster is putting this up for his first post on his first day and sitting back watching everyone stumble all over themselves -- then he should be banned -- forthwith
I'm waiting to see what he says in response -- or whatever the Admin Moderator and the "kitties" judge... :-)
IBTZ!
Nothing like a newb/troll to start my afternoon.
Typical liberal - twisting the words of both God and men to ridicule people of faith.
