Jeremiah Dys: Marriage Protects Society

Jeremiah Dys of the Family Policy Council of West Virginia has this commentary in the Charleston Gazette: “When marriage is devalued or re-defined, society and, ultimately, our children pay the price. Government spending on social programs is driven in large part by family fragmentation. You name the problem, whether it is crime, poverty, drug abuse, teen pregnancy or school failure. Each societal problem we face today can be traced back to the breakdown of the family, a concept that is seemingly foreign to the justices on the Supreme Court of Appeals.”

The commentary is also available at the Voice, the Blog of the Family Policy Council of West Virginia.
