North and South Dakota are afraid of women |
|
found both of these articles at online journal but both links have degraded and won't work, so only have the headlines)
two articles, one from each state:
N.D. Senate OKs cohabitation law change
BISMARCK, N.D. - Living together out of wedlock would be downgraded from a sex crime to fraud, and then only if the couple claims to be married, under a proposal that passed the state Senate on Friday.
-----------
Strict abortion bill revisited in S.D.
PIERRE, S.D. - Lawmakers who watched as a near-total ban on abortions failed in South Dakota voting booths last year have revived the legislation with changes that may make the difference in public acceptance. But the bill's success is far from assured.
----------------
the Dakotas should leave women alone and start thinking of how to survive climate change and the criminal neo cons.

1. I guess I wouldn't mind if it applied only to frightening women like Rice, Hughs and Coulter. |

We have this thing in Texas called Common-law marriage. If you have no prior impediments (being already married) and live together and hold yourself out as being married to other people, and cohabit (has a legal definition, including sex but not just sex) then you are married. And you can register it at the courthouse.
The first time I got married we went to the county clerk's office and tried to register what is called a "Declaration of Common Law marriage" but they wouldn't do it because I refused to change my name, so they committed a misdemeanor by not carrying out the duties of their office.
The stupid clerk tore up three forms while I asked him "Where in the Family Code does it say that I have to change my name? Show me." He couldn't show me that statute because it does not exist.
GRRR!!!! This was in 1979.
It's a good thing I didn't change my name because I would have been "Mrs. Asshole" :rofl:
