A Georgia Supreme Court commission is so concerned about the impact of broken families that it is sponsoring a dozen billboards throughout the state with the message “Get Married, Stay Married.”
Georgia Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears told the Fulton County Daily Report that she hopes the billboards will help bring down divorce and crime rates, and push fathers to stay involved in their children’s lives.
"It's our job to say to the legislature, and to the executive, 'We see and notice this,' " she told the publication. “We do more than just read cases. We see a lot of human devastation. It's my job to speak out."
Sears is promoting intact families despite her own divorce after 20 years of marriage, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. “It’s politically incorrect to say marriage has benefits,” she said. “Let’s not be afraid to say marriage is a good thing.”
How old is she?
I agree with her take on marriage, and salute her for taking on the charge to get the number of marrieds back up. Even though Blacks are clearly a problem in this area, Whites are joining in more than we should be happy about.
You know folks, I’m surprised I might agree with even one thing an Obama appointee might believe.
My take on it is that if Obama hears about her stance on marriage, she may not get nominated after all. LOL
His ‘crew’ would probably see that as a negative.
That's nice but if she were I dunno say a conservative governor of an upper northwestern state or something and she did that she would be branded a hypocrite.
Well, that's good news. I heard Dr Morse talk at a pro-life banquet about six months ago. Dr Morse was one of the movers behind the pro-Prop 8 campaign.
