It’s so amusing to me that marriage is sold as being a way to commit to a sacred bond between two people, but when it comes to something like requiring a woman to notify her husband before having an abortion it seems that parts of a one’s life become exempt from the “share your whole life” deal to many. Not that I think women should be required to notify their husbands before having an abortion (they shouldn’t), but it would sure be interesting to see how it would affect why women choose to marry who they do if, going beyond a notification requirement, there was a consent requirement. If marriage was really about sharing every part of your life with someone else, there would be no question in any woman’s mind as to whether or not she will tell her husband that she is pregnant and is going to have an abortion. But the majority of the time marriage is about money, or the party and the gifts, or getting your family off your back, or doing what you’re “supposed to” do. And this, dear readers, is why I think marriage is a joke and want no part of it.

Now, I support all of you who do want the right to marry because it is an equal rights issue. But I won’t be attending the march.

Alito on gays.
