Republicans continue working to criminalize human nature.

Republicans continue to take the lead in fighting for "family friendly" legislation. Ha ha, just kidding! What are they, nuts? Via The Detroit News:

Lansing — The state Senate on Wednesday approved a bill with nine Republicans in opposition that would remove from Michigan law an unenforced provision that makes it a misdemeanor for an unmarried man and woman to live together.

Two GOP lawmakers who voted against the proposed repeal argued that keeping the law on the books would encourage marriage and strengthen families. Sen. Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan, said the reasons for the longstanding policy "are clearly not obsolete."

But Democrats countered that the Republicans' remarks were out of step with modern times.

"What year are they living in?” Sen. Mallory McMorrow, D-Royal Oak, asked reporters of the Republicans after Wednesday's session.
