BAN DIVORCE: Preserve the Sanctity of Marriage
They were the match made in heaven, but not even prayer kept them from DIVORCE. Lets ban divorce or expand marriage to encompass others. You choose!
George W. Bush stated in 2004 at the State of the Union Address:
A strong America must also value the institution of marriage. I believe we should respect individuals as we take a principled stand for one of the most fundamental, enduring institutions of our civilization. Congress has already taken a stand on this issue by passing the Defense of Marriage Act, signed in 1996 by President Clinton. That statute protects marriage under federal law as a union of a man and a woman, and declares that one state may not redefine marriage for other states.
So, lets look at a draft:
1. A constitutional amendment banning divorce.
2. A federal law making adultery a felony.
3. A federal law making cunnilingus and fellatio (i.e., sodomy) a felony, even for married couples in the privacy of their own homes.
And over at Common Dreams dot org they responded to Geroge W.:
“Nearly 50 percent of all marriages are projected to end in divorce or permanent separation,” according to David Popenoe, co-author of an annual report, The State of Our Unions, by the National Marriage Project at Rutgers University.
Seems the “human institution” which Bush assigns superlatives isn’t really the most enduring at all.
In fact, Popenoe informs us that the “United States has the weakest families in the Western world because we have the highest divorce rate.” And co-author of the report, Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, explains that there’s more acceptance “of alternatives to marriage such as unwed parenthood and cohabitation.” This revelation won’t go down well with those in the president’s circle of friends.
If George Bush believes it’s necessary to safeguard the sanctity of marriage by denying gay couples the opportunity and right to legal wedlock, then, he, first, should preserve heterosexual marriage by any means possible to ensure its very endurance. In other words, the president must call upon Congress to ban divorce itself to protect, once and for all, this most “important human institution.”
In June ‘08, Superior Court Judge Debra Turner discovered that Bynum had sexual realtions with Weeks. When the Judge asked Bynum if she had been intimate with Weeks since they separated, Bynum stated, “Yes, once, I believe it was in August.”
So, now that the divorce is final, will Bynum and Weeks become intimate, once again, or regularly, out of wedlock? I say unequivocally yes, but you tell me! Many women seek sex with men from previous relationships, while many men seek sex from new and occasionally old relationships; we guys need to validate our ego and make the ex jealous with a new trophy girl.

Way too invasive.
1. There should be no regulation of sex between two consenting adults. Sodomy should not be banned. If the people want to do it, that’s their business.
2. Divorce is up to them, not you, nor the government. It is their marriage. You have no business telling them how to live their lives.
3. Adultery should not be illegal. Who someone loves and has sex with is their personal business, not yours. The government has no right telling people who to go home to at night.
4. By banning divorce, people would be forced into adultery.
5. The sanctity of marriage is between the two people married. They determine how sacred their marriage is, not the law. Marriage is not automatically sacred. Some people cheat, and some people marry simply for benefits.
