Speaking of the no-fault divorce law changes you mentioned earlier, I don't recall the public debate over that issue so it may have been before a time I remember. Do you know if the advocates of no-fault divorce, irregardless of the effect on children, were social conservatives or social liberals?

I think I know the answer. But the obvious answer invites the question, why should our society take more bad family policy advice from the same parties? Do we really want our whole society to be completely "Jerry Springer-ized"?

I'm sure at least some social liberals now recognize the negative effect of divorce on children which comes from having a mother and father seperated in different households.

Since the LGBT rights movement's Beyond Gay Marriage public proclamation calls for this explicitly - "queer couples who decide to jointly create and raise a child with another queer person or couple, in two households" - one would think people who recognize the ill effect of divorce on children would, at the least, not favor a similar negative situtation being imposed on a new set of children - this time by design before the child is even conceived!
