X. Benedict Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 What's so hard to understand: it would be law for everyone to abide by, but the primary beneficiaries would be kids. People who are sterile, infertile, or don't want to have children would just have to follow the law. No one forces anyone to get married, and when you do, you commit to do it for life. If you don't want to make that commitment, don't get married. It's pretty simple. 705913[/snapback] How can the infertile in good conscience enter a union for which the primary purpose is procreation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the end result of most marriages, and the thing that the divorce ban protects, is families and children. That's what matters. Why two adults marry is their business--they just can't divorce. In the drafts I've seen, the Constitutional Amendment would be limited to a divorce ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also hard to understand how little understanding of domestic violence those same people possess. As if battered women don’t have enough problems getting out of abusive relationships. Now we have nutjobs who want to make it illegal unless what? They can show bruises? Gimmie a break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hate the person, don't get married to them. And if you think you hate them once you're married, give it time and it will undoubteedly get better. A little commitment to marriage would be a good thing. It’s also hard to understand how little understanding of domestic violence those same people possess.

Now see, if we applied your logic here, you would be forced to remain pigheaded for the rest of your life!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
