I'd be interested in hearing more about what liberals have done to "normalize" divorce.

A conservative movement genuinely interested in making sure children are raised in wedlock could endorse routine family planning and reproductive health services, rather than building an entire totalizing culture war out of opposition to them. Otherwise, it's hard to imagine a policy more antithetical to our founding principles than one that compels the reluctant unwed parents of unwanted children to marry.

These issues didn't seem to bother Ben Franklin too much. But: fair enough! A liberal.
