This blog post is a rebuttal to: “Argument against gay marriage in California
hinges on accidental pregnancies”, Liz Goodwin, Yahoo News, March 4, 2013
Introduction
It doesn’t take long to figure Yahoo’s position on gay
marriage. The company is located in the liberal
state of California where the democratic process and the will of the people has
been bypassed not once but twice by gay judicial activists. The liberal-minded writers at Yahoo are in
full support of the judicial tyranny as they write analogies about “marriage equality,” whereas gay marriage really has no equal.
The gay marriage argument assumes a “crystal ball” by
comparing a gay union to a traditional marriage that is childless by choice-or-circumstances. The crystal ball is broken because there are
children from these types of “childless” traditional-marriages where the
outcomes are different from what everyone understood when they entered those marriages.
Article Content
In the article
referenced above Liz said “One of many potential pitfalls of the (traditional
marriage) argument is whether it follows that the government could pass a law
saying that only fertile people are allowed to wed, for example, or whether the
state could ban marriage between elderly people.”
Dialogue
Christine said: "It's a woman's instinct to have
children in the context of marriage." HA HA HA. Oh my God, are you kidding
me?!
SRF said: WOW
Christine -- you're way out of touch with womanhood!!! You are the riot! Here's the same question over at yahoo answers:
- Q:"They say women want babies because it's a "natural instinct", but what does that mean?"
- A: "It's kind of programmed in our brains that once our bodies know we're in the peak of baby-making days, it is almost impossible to get off our minds. We see other women who are lucky to have babies and start wonderful families, and want that for ourselves. We want that miracle of life. SO SUE US!!!!!!“
BluesFan1 said: Those (childless) marriages don't last? Really? My husband and I got married knowing we would not
have children, by choice. Yet, here we are, 13 1/2 yrs married and we've been
together for over 20 yrs. So what other ridiculous statements do you have?”
SRF said: @ Bluesfan
-- our beloved government is publishing that "ridiculous statement"
over at the U.S. Bureau of Social Statistics.
Only three out of ten childless marriages last 10 years. Now I have a question for you: Where is a
traditionally married couple WITH CHILDREN that thinks procreation is trivial
in a marriage? I've heard from several specious "childless marriages"
like yours.
Allen said: My
brother and his wife have been married 25 yrs with no kids. Plus the fact that
there are such things as infertile couples who got married knowing they would
never have them. You are an idiot.
SRF said: @ Allen,
there could be an idiot in the room but I don’t think it’s me. A doctor told my cousin and her husband
they'd NEVER have kids so they adopted a baby boy and showed him off at our
family re-unions year after year. We watched him grow up -- then -- she got
pregnant and had another boy. Well, Allen, so much for your "broken
crystal ball" of an argument.
SRF said: If the
states banned marriage between elderly people nobody would enforce it. Grandparents
raise a lot of kids these days.
Skyliner said: The
whole matter of parenting depends on the possibility that the parenting couple
will be having intercourse and there is a possibility of pregnancy. At least,
so say some.
SRF said: @ Skyliner how does someone determine whether a
marriage will be childless or not? I can understand the chances are really slim
with elderly people -- BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!
Paulo Wen said: (the
decline of marriage) … is all the more reason to not discriminate against same
sex couples.
SRF said: @ Paulo -- With all due respect I do not believe
that gay marriage is equal to traditional marriage, and I've looked at it for
many years, wondering how my Creator could allow such a difficult situation for
gay people. I do think gays should have
civil rights in the context of their union which I don't agree with, but this
is America. The facts are NOT
forthcoming regarding gay parenting and gay marriage is an irrevocable
decision. Until someone can PROVE a benefit from gay marriage that is shared
with the rest of our society -- I think it is wise to wait. The courts have
already evaluated the social impact of traditional marriage on the society we
live in. It's a fact that children from
this kind of family unit are more likely to get a college education, find a
job, and start a stable family unit of their own.
