SocraticGadfly: Religious Right shooting itself in the foot on no-fault divorce

Religious Right shooting itself in the foot on no-fault divorce

First, divorce is in general a state-by-state issue. So is marriage, other than the federal constitutional bar on discriminating against gay marriage. Different states have different minimum age limits for marriage with and without parental consent. Etc., etc.

So, Congresscritters have no standing to try to eliminate no-fault divorce nationally. 

But, that's a minor point.

Let's assume wingnut state legiscritters get the ball rolling.

You know what will happen?

The marriage rate will start declining further. It's safer that way.
