... however, I like the idea of having health insurance even though I'm not employed and I also like the idea of my potential spouse being able to visit me in the hospital if something happens to me -- don't they often refuse to let "non family" in to see you?

I go back and forth on it all the time, really.
For me, part of the reason I oppose the word "Marriage" is because in my faith, it is a Sacrament-holy and bestowing special graces upon those who receive it. Is it the same for other religions?

I agree though, that within a "union" all benefits like insurance-visitation rights- tax breaks should be equal. I'm a little squeamish about adoption. I thought Rosy O'Donald made a beautiful case for it though. Jury is still out on that one!
