| Message | Mr Speaker, While article II is perfectly acceptable and in line with the bill title - article I is an absolute disgrace and contrary to God's laws! What is "marriage" if one party can end it for no reason? Such a person, if they "re-marry" would be an adulterer/adultress. What next? I yield the floor. |
