| Message | Mr Speaker, How can allowing a woman to divorce her husband against his will, breaking her marital vows which she took BEFORE GOD, be called "fair"? I yield the floor. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We object the language of the description on this legislation. We would have been satisfied to give local governments the decision making power but as that was not popular we resorted to the next best thing. We also second the comments made by the BCD representative. |
