    is responsible public health messaging.

    No it’s not. That message is exactly what leads to what you fear: people leaving the room with the exact opposite takeaway. That message is “do not get divorced ever, bad bad bad. Anyone that gets divorced is bad bad bad.” Etc, etc, etc (a whollle lot of other implications that I won’t repeat). You reallllly don’t have to go far to hear people have that takeaway. And it’s all based on based on collapsing all the spectrums of data into a simple data point. On the other hand, elaborating on the details will lead to an actual understanding of what’s healthy and when and for who. You have this completely and utterly backwards. Quite frankly I think your way of thinking (of hiding information and not discussing it) is incredibly dangerous to people and perpetuates horrible thinking in society. You have this completely backwards, what you fear (a lot of people will leave that room with the exact opposite take away) actually happens with what you advocate for. I think I’m out.

    *Ok last line because I really don’t want to keep replying and I’ll make it as clear as I can. It’s pretty clear in Project 2025 that the GOP wants to get rid of no fault divorce. That thinking is propped up by this over simplistic thinking of “it’s better for the kids”, “divorce is bad”, and many, many other insinuations and things like that. This over simplistic thinking leads to incredibly bad ideas and support. Ok I’m out.
