AN ARGUMENT AGAINST CIVIL UNIONS
P1. Civil unions (exclusively between unrelated same-sex couples) reduce the social pressure for fathers to remain in their family
P2. A reduced social pressure for fathers to remain in their family will likely lead to less fathers remaining in their family
C. Therefore civil unions (exclusively between unrelated same-sex couples) will likely lead to less fathers remaining in their family
CONSERVATIVE COMMENTARY
To the extent that civil unions are treated like marriage, civil unions promote a family arrangement in which fathers are not necessary.
