Twice-divorced Trump’s new running mate wants to restrict divorce

No one goes into a marriage hoping for a divorce. It's an unhappy end to what should be a source of happiness. However, like abortion, divorce is a personal choice—one that is sadly sometimes necessary to protect life or health.

And divorce, like abortion, is something that conservative Republicans are now trying to take away.

Among conservatives, there’s a longing for a time when divorce was both difficult and shameful. Divorce, especially no-fault divorce, has long been fingered by some conservatives as the root of many, if not all, evils. Some of the worst in Congress, like Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, have advocated the idea of ending no-fault divorce.

Now those conservatives think they have their champion in Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, who insists that women should be locked into "even violent" marriages.
