Again, still have the whole in my blogroll:
Keith Ablow, the libertarian psychiatrist who comments on medical matters for Fox News, says that marriage is a major cause of depression and a source of suffering for "the vast majority" of married people. He wants to abolish marriage, leaving couples to simply choose each other every day.
Maggie Gallagher, the social conservative founder of The National Organization for Marriage takes Ablow to task for having his facts all wrong.
In this fight, Gallagher is right.
The larger issue, I think, is that libertarians and social conservatives are opposites. Nowhere is this more clear than on family issues.
Blogger was having serious issues on the 12th and 13th.
Everything should be back in order.
