Conservatives - Make divorce more difficult

I guess they got tired of making abortions more difficult, so the newest strategy is to make divorce more difficult, because it just throws more of a burden on society to support all those divorced women and their kids. So, just stick it out - save society a few dollars.

Theme song for this has got to be Stand By Your Man

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doin things that you don't understand
But if you love him
You'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh, be proud of him
Cause after all he's just a man

It might stop Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh on their headlong course of marriage-as-a-career...

Seems like rich cons have more divorces than liberals and poor folks.
