Sometimes living in Massachusetts is like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You know what is about to happen, but you are having a hard time believing it.
Fox News is reporting today the the Massachusetts legislature is working to change the divorce laws in the state--the goal is to prevent domestic violence and shield children while the divorce is underway. So what is the law being proposed? The proposed bill would prevent divorcing parents from "conducting a dating or sexual relationship within the home" until the divorce is final. This is an amazing invasion of privacy--even for Massachusetts.
Massachusetts is a one-party state. It is run by Democrats. These are the same Democrats that regularly complain that Republicans want to control what goes on in people's bedrooms. I have never seen a piece of Republican legislation that invaded people's homes to this extent. I am simply amazed that, as the state is dealing with severe budget problems and political leaders being charged with serious crimes, that the legislature chooses to focus on the dating habits of people obtaining divorces. It simply boggles the mind.
