Conservatives Urge Closer Look at Marriage (AP)

Watch out, America! Banning gay marriage is just the start of the "reform" these guys have in mind, according to Bryce Christensen, a Southern Utah University professor who writes frequently about family issues.:

"If those [gay marriage] initiatives are part of a broader effort to reaffirm lifetime fidelity in marriage, they're worthwhile," he said. "If they're isolated — if we don't address cohabitation and casual divorce and deliberate childlessness — then I think they're futile and will be brushed aside."

So "deliberate childlessness" is now destroying the institution of marriage? And the government is going to begin to dictate who can live with whom? Hold on to your hats - the conservative agenda has yet to reach full flower!

AP - "Protection of marriage" is now the watchword for many activists fighting to prevent gays and lesbians from marrying. Some conservatives, however, say marriage in America began unraveling long before the latest gay-rights push and are pleading for a fresh, soul-searching look at the institution.
