Marriage is for procreation, plain and simple. But there is a subculture in America that has been undermining this vital institution - an institution that has stood unchanged for six thousand years - since god made the world.

Today there are women getting married who are already past child bearing age; couples getting married who DO NOT PLAN on having children; and couples who, even though they are married, use birth control.

To save us all from this destruction of our society, and the inevitable demise of western civilisation that must inevitably follow from childless marriages,  the Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance is fighting to get a measure on the ballot that would require any couple applying for a marriage license to prove (a) that they are fertile and capable of having children and (b) annul any marriage where after three  years the couple have not produced.

(Lest anyone in my readership is struggling with irony, let me point out the measure is designed to poke a hole through the fundamentalist argument that gays and lesbians shouldn't get married because the purpose of marriage is procreation).
