Well. I agree with the whole thing, but most especially the above
snippet. It only opens the door to further imposition of gov't on
personal freedoms.

I will add that it seems manipulative and selfish parents are driving
this train, and that to discount the husband's wishes is the horrendous.
  I would be horrified if my mother went to court to override whatever
decisions my husband made for me.
