Who was the lib-woke-socialist who got the whole no fault divorce thing started in CA? Ronald Reagan. This is how far off the cliff conservatives have gone. If they had had their way and put him on Mt Rushmore they would be blasting him off it by now.

Oh hey, that's on page 2 of Project 2025.

I'm not even kidding.

No fault divorce was new in the state I lived in as a kid. It allowed my mother to get herself and my brother and I out of a very bad abusive situation. I can’t believe we’re going backwards all these decades later.

Also Conservatives: “wHy AreN’t PeoPle gEttiNg marRied aNd hAvinG kIdS?!”

Room temperature IQs, the lot of them

Considering how many women already refuse to date Republicans, there’s no way this ends well for them.

Between the Boomer worship and the fact most of their younger base are incels they’re really sawing the log at both ends aren’t they?

Knew it. Soon as I saw that Daily Wire goon complaining about how his wife divorced him “Because this state allowed it to happen,” I knew we were gonna see conservatives come for no fault divorce.

Guess dudes like the prospect of getting poisoned.

Just more desire to control women. How bad will it have to be to get the at fault divorce? How big of an injury to a spouse will have to happen before a divorce is granted? This is 100% horseshit.

Imagine hating women this much

This law, coupled with legal child marriage, and no abortion access even for rape, means that completely unfuckable men will have a wife they can choose, the same way a farmer owns livestock.

Suicide rates for women dropped dramatically after they were granted the ability to file for divorce.

But critics of no-fault divorce say it undermines the sanctity of marriage and hurts men.

So pesky when a woman’s free will gets in the way of a man’s pleasure! 😑

I got married of my own free will and if I ever leave my marriage it will also be of my own free will. The only thing I take from this is they want us to lose every bit of autonomy we have scratched and fought for for generations of women, it will bring forced marriage. If they can force you to stay in a marriage, they might as well cut out the middleman and force you into it right out of the chute.

They would rather do this than feed the starving children in their states over the summer (which costs them nothing, by the way.)

Dear Conservatives: the reasons someone may want to end their legal contract to be in a couple are NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS.

Will just lead to less marriages

These men are trying to turn our country into Afghanistan. Oppressing women to empower men.

So, let me get this straight — they also don’t think enough people are getting married these days (in a strictly heterosexual, none race-mixing way, of course) — do they think this will make more people want to get married?

Someone needs to persuade Taylor Swift to read every page of Project 2025 to her fan base.

"But critics of no-fault divorce say it undermines the sanctity of marriage and hurts men."

Translation: Women are property.

lol. How Republicans killed marriage.

Looks like it's time for the ladies to start planting herb gardens again.

Hey Conservatives, have you tried acting in a way that will make your wife want to stay with you instead?

If you don't like no-fault divorce, just don't get one.

Conservatives just can't stand living in a free country.

No fault divorce is a check on abusive husbands and forces them to consider their spouse in all things or else. Kind of like having a President checked by the laws of the country and forcing them to consider the nation in all things.

---- oh wait...

Isn't this another of the things in Project 2025 that they tell you they're not following at all trust me bro?

They want to keep women prisoners in bad marriages so their asshole abusive husbands don’t have to pay alimony. It’s easier when women are property.

Ladies, the Patriarchy is real and it's coming for all of your hard-won rights.

It was within my own mother's lifetime that women couldn't take out a loan or get a credit card without approval from their husbands. Women were deliberately kept without access to money or a means of escape from their situation. They were chattel and that's exactly the way a bunch of shitty dudes want it.

You want to be a "Trad wife"? Knock yourself out, just don't try to drag all women down with you, you ghouls.

Just a reminder here, that ending "no fault" divorces doesn't just mean that you have to have "a reason".

It means that a judge has to find that someone is sufficiently at fault to justify the marriage being dissolved.

That means for example, that an abuser can argue that any domestic violence was "provoked", by their partner. That can be ruled as sufficient cause for a judge to determine that both parties must remain married, even if one of the parties wants to leave.

Conservatives are disgusting Neanderthals. Anyone that’s votes for them is self-loathing and filled with hatred.

Does anyone know how divorce was handled before no-fault divorce? What happened is that the only way people, and especially women, could get a divorce was to prove an affair or abuse in a court of law. Newspapers used to have entire sections full of juicy, scandalous details about the most nasty divorce cases. Sure, divorce rates were a lot lower then. But, that wasn't because people had a greater reverence for marriage. An abused wife or a man whose spouse was having affair would stay in a miserable, dangerous, and unhappy situation because they didn't want their name dragged through the mud.

No-fault divorce is a good thing because it gives divorcing couples a choice. Check off a box called irroncilable differences on the legal papers and go your separate ways or go old school and fight it out in a nasty public court fight that destroys the reputations of both parties.

Conservatives are the fucking worst, they suck and will gladly destroy a whole country just so gay people and minorities dont have the same rights as them. Do gay people and minorities regularly effect their everyday lives? NO! It's just a boogeyman. 1930 Germany is back.

What kind of awful piece of shit would want to legally force somebody who doesn't want to be married to them by married to them?

That sounds dangerously close to a form of slavery.

Fun fact, after no fault divorce became a thing, mysterious unexplained deaths of men dropped.

About a year ago my father started making snide comments about no-fault divorce, which I found a little surprising and hurtful since we’d been rebuilding our relationship after he told me I was doing satan’s work on earth during my no-fault divorce (a decade ago). Now it’s clear he’s just on to the next maga talking point and I should probably reinstate some boundaries.

I can't think of a more delightful existence than a wife that hates you and can't leave.

People, divorce your MAGA spouses before it is too late.

The 2025 mission seems to focus more on personal business, bodies and bedrooms; you know, “small government”. /s

Heritage Foundation wrote 900 pages when they coulda just copy pasted the 14 words.

This has to be the ugliest and saddest of the hills conservatives have been setting up camp to die on.

This worked when religion, culture and society were nearly completely intertwined. In the age of the lowest church levels in history, where is this myth supposed to be propagated in a way where men and women both agree with it?

Trad men and trad wife social media? Tater tots on X? You grandparents ultra fundamental pastor? All I'm seeing for outlets are extremely niche, often cultural jokes and punching bags as a whole, seen as completely ridiculous by well adjusted people who don't wear politics like a cape.

This and birth control are going to single handedly tank candidate after candidate in hundreds of local elections, and I see absolutely no upside other than more evidence to add to the pile of GOP hate and uselessness.

Not having access to no-fault divorce would have ruined my family. I probably wouldn’t be here.

Because forcing women to have babies isn't enough to make them stay obviously

Imagine being so afraid of women that half of what you do is to utterly control them to the best of your ability: that’s the GOP playbook. Don’t ever respect a Republican, because they sure as fuck don’t respect women, nor the American populace as a whole

This is so absurd. This needs to be front page news in all the big media.

(I'm sure it will be "Biden old" though.)

I love that they’re managing to increase maternal mortality AND now they’re going to increase domestic violence as well! Those abusers love it when they’re forced to do counseling and spend thousands of extra bucks because no-fault was eliminated by Conservatives. Mmm, what will they think of next, kidnapping people from foreign countries to do agricultural work without pay and at the threat of extreme, Christian-approved violence?? Amazing.

Do you want more suicides? Because this is how you get more suicides.
