Couples who live together in North Dakota will no longer be considered criminals after the House agreed Thursday to repeal the law that has been on books since statehood. The legislation was headed to Gov. John Hoeven, who was expected to sign it, his spokesman Don Canton said.
Representatives voted 48-41 to get rid of the law that lists a man and woman living together without being married as a sex crime, along with rape, incest and adultery. Attempts get rid of the law failed in the past two legislative sessions. ND Joins 1970's!
Yes, North Dakota has moved into the 1970's with this bold new initiative. The coming of disco music followed by its death and the birth of New Wave can't be far behind.
What's really bizarre is that 41 people voted against repealing this anachronism of a law. What's up with that?
