Bush to Offer $1.5 Billion Prescription Marriage Plan by Scott Ott (2004-01-14) -- Under a soon-to-be announced Bush administration proposal, the federal government will offer free prescriptions for healthy marriage. It's part of an election-year effort to strengthen the institution of marriage. Rather than remove regulations that currently make it more profitable for a low-income woman on government assistance to remain single, the administration will fund an effort in what has traditionally been the domain of churches. Homosexual advocacy groups immediately embraced the proposal because it will also provide relationship help for same sex couples, according to one unnamed ACLU attorney. "As soon as the soon-to-be-announced discrimination lawsuit reaches the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals," he said, "gay and straight couples will sit side-by-side in government-funded classrooms, learning what marriage really means. In fact, those courses will soon have quotas requiring a certain percentage of 'minority lifestyles' to be included in each session." Donate | More Satire | Printer-Friendly | |
