Where do you being with this? Unfortunately there are many people out there that think this way. Nevermind that in the new millennium, it would almost impossible for most families to survive on a one-income budget. Logic doesn't apply.
If these "conservatives" truly gave a rat's ass about "the family", they would be passing funding for child care, mandatory one-year maternal and paternal leave for new borns/adoptions, universal health care for children (at minimum), etc. But no, it's much more important to thwart someone's ability to get divorced, even if it's a bad marriage.
They just want to go back to the "good old days" when women were subservient and had limited choices available to them. All those uppity women who don't need to rely on marriage for security ... that is the real problem.
