Forum: A Virginia Family Bill of Rights
Washington Times ^ | 06FEB05 | Dr. Stephen Baskerville

Posted on 02/06/2005 4:12:50 PM PST by familyop

Riding the momentum from the November election and the huge public opposition to same-sex "marriage," Delegate Kathy Byron and other legislators have introduced a "Family Bill of Rights." This ambitious bill will check not only the homosexual challenge to marriage, but also the huge erosion of parental rights. Stronger still, state Sen. Ken Cuccinelli has offered a bill to begin countering the "no-fault" divorce epidemic.

Ping, DirtyHarryY2K ...material for your homosexual agenda ping list, IMO, and a step further for family against that same agenda and its big sister lobby.

How exactly are they going to prevent divorce? There are so many reasons for divorce. Granted, there are too many divorces where the husband and wife just give up without really trying to work it out. However, when there is adultery, abuse, abandonment, etc., then divorce is the only solution IMHO.

At least get rid of no-fault divorce laws. They make a huge mockery out of the contractual nature of marriage. There is no other contract I know of which you can get out of so easily.

I thought you all might like to know when the push for no-fault divorce started in the USA, and about those who started it. Notice the author and dates. Keep the following for copying, pasting and referring to elsewhere.

"Inasmuch, then, as incompatibility of temper defeats the two great objects of marriage, it should be the primal cause for divorce...the parties might simply declare that, after living together for several years, they found themselves unsuited to each other, and incapable of making a happy home" (Elizabeth Cady Stanton, The Arena, 1894. Eighty Years And More: Reminiscences 1815-1897, 1898).
