No-Fault Divorce a Greater threat to Marriage than Gay ‘Marriage’: Expert
By James Tillman, LifeSite News
According to Dr. Stephen Baskerville, professor of political science at Patrick Henry College and author of “Taken Into Custody: The War Against Fathers, Marriage, and the Family,” the government "is engaged in a direct assault on the family" that is causing family breakdown – which in turn allows government to reach into yet more areas of civil society under the pretext of solving the problems that the breakdown of the family creates.
"I would go so far as to say that family breakdown is the major engine driving domestic government expansion and spending: crime, substance abuse, educational failure, law enforcement," Dr. Baskerville told LifeSiteNews.com (LSN). "All these costs are attributable to single-parent homes more than any other single factor."

Dr. Baskerville claimed that the government promotes family breakdown through “a panoply of destructive laws” linked to divorce.
"Unlike cultural threats to the family, divorce is a government regime," he stated. "It is not eroding the family; it is quite deliberately dismantling it."
