The assumption by the religious right is that in this particular case the husband was beating, kicking and strangling his wife and actually caused the injury leading her to become a vegetable. The absence of any evidence that he did so does not concern them.

You’ve got some scriptural backing on that, but marriage isn’t what it used to be. * * *

Don't you think it depends whether you are thinking as parent or as spouse? When you think about your children, you don't think about the bonds of marriage cutting the bonds you have to them. Nothing my children could ever do would make me ever think of them as anything other than my children. I will have to defer to their spouses, but I will not see my children as being some other person, with half another person glued on to them. I think the words of the marriage ceremony about one becoming two are nice words, and I suppose it if makes marriages stronger for married people to believe them, that's all to the good, but you can't expect parents to believe them. When you carry a child, you know forever that the child is bone of your bone, and flesh of your flesh. My children are forever connected to me by their genetic code- they are half me. No one you marry will be made up of your own genetic code, and if you are a woman, you will never (imo) love anything or anyone the way you love what you create out of and in your own body. Or at least I, and the mothers I have talked to about this, feel that way. I cannot speak for others with whom I have not spoken.
