Fresh from their successful fight to ban same-sex marriage in the state constitution, supporters are now ready to turn to what they see as the next biggest threat to the institution of marriage: Wisconsin’s no-fault divorce law.
“What was highlighted in this campaign is that marriage is indeed under attack and no-fault divorce is one of those attacks,” Julaine Appling, CEO of the Family Research Institute of Wisconsin and president of the “Vote Yes for Marriage” campaign, said Tuesday night.
….Many students said they were motivated to vote at least in part by the marriage amendment.
“I know a lot of people who are gay and it’s important that they have equal rights to the rest of us,” said Rachel Wroblewski, a sophomore at UW-Madison, who cast her ballot at the Union. Wroblewski, whose father has a rare form of leukemia, was also drawn to the polls because of controversy over stem cell research, which figured into the race for governor.
