Ben Carson is joining the chorus of conservatives who want to do away with no-fault divorce.

In his new book, The Perilous Fight, the former cabinet member for Donald Trump writes, For the sake of families, we should enact legislation to remove or radically reduce incidences of no-fault divorce.

Carson, who is said to be on the short list for Trumps vice presidential pick, continues, The reason this matters is that no-fault divorce legally allows marriages to end much more quickly than in previous decades.

He goes on, When there are relatively few legal or financial consequences connected with divorce, its natural for people to gravitate toward that option when their marriage hits a rough patch.

What those people often dont consider, however, is the harm both present and future inflicted on their children once a divorce is finalized.
