In this installment of the War On Women, Loren is again joined by Kelly and Allie to discuss marriage, no-fault divorce and incompatibility. They discuss the importance of no-fault divorce and take a look at some of the modern advocates of getting rid of it. They contend that the right to no-fault divorce is destroying the moral fabric of society by empowering women. We look into how they're wrong. This episode has a brief discussion of emotional abuse.
