A Petition for a California State Proposition that Prohibits Divorce Between Heterosexual Married Couples

Divorce destroys the sanctity of marriage and its powerful influence on the betterment of society. This proposition would keep the very meaning of marriage from being transformed into nothing more than a contractual relationship between two adults. Prohibiting divorce between heterosexual married couples will keep the interests of children and families intact. We will continue to celebrate marriage as the union of husband and wife, not as a relationship between "Party A" and "Party B." The marriage of a man and a woman has been at the heart of society since the beginning of time and it promotes the ideal opportunity for children to be raised by a mother and a father in a family held together by the legal, communal, and spiritual bonds of marriage. As a society we should put the best interests of children first, and those interests lie in traditional marriage. Permitting divorce destroys marriage as we know it and causes a profound harm to society. We should be restoring marriage, not undermining it.

And for those of you who voted yes on Prop 8 but disagree with this petition...Why? This petition is copied and pasted from literature from your website, ProtectMarriage.com, but applied to Divorce instead of Gay Marriage. So how can you argue with your own words?

A Petition for a California State Proposition that Prohibits Divorce Between Heterosexual Married Couples

We did it, California. We protected marriage and we protected children by voting yes on Prop 8. But we can't stop there. We must continue to protect marriage and to protect children. That is why we are asking you to sign our petition to prohibit divorce between heterosexual married couples.
Thank you for considering our petition.

Heterosexuals have been undermining the sanctity of marriage since long before gays even had a chance.

I couldn't agree more with the words from the video - If people are so hung up on protecting marriage then their focus should be on divorce, not GAY MARRIAGE. I think that once gay marriage is leagalized they may see exactly what "real love" is about. Gays have been in long term relationships since the dawn of time and we have never been forced to stay together because of a "contract" � but yet we have.

The ironic thing about all this is that the people who are likely to sign this aren't the people who should to protect their own argument(the people that voted yes on prop 8), but the people who are strongly against prop 8 and see how revolting it is. If this was really about the sanctity of marriage, then making divorce illegal is the only logical thing to do now.

I know the people who signed "yes" to prop 8 will totally ignore the FACTS of this petition. Because they are hipocrits and even though in THEIR "Gods" eyes divorce is wrong, they are still going to pick and choose which laws of his they follow. If "God" was real, they'd be going to hell.

I think this is a wonderful petition. Interestingly enough the same people who believe so strongly that only a marriage of a man and a women can protect the children also have the wonderful back door of having their marriage and children no longer exist by having it anulled. God pretends?

I'm sure everyone who voted Yes on Prop. 8 will certainly support this new initiative. Anything less would make them a hypocrite about the sanctity of marriage. Go prop 13!!!

Equality is written into the constitution. What makes heterosexual Christian couples better then everyone else?

There is no need to turn the love between two consenting adults into a political issue.

Divorce distroys more marrages than same-sex couple marrage ever did, would or could.
