THE UNBEATABLE INFERTILITY ARGUMENT: A Reader

It seems to me that Wally Kosterman is saying that the only reason infertile heterosexual couples aren't disqualified from marrying is because determining who is fertile and who isn't would be too costly and invasive. In other words, he would be glad to bar infertile couples from marrying if there was a practical way to root them out.

I don't know for sure whether you agree with him or not, but you side with him. Are you saying that, as far as you're concerned, marriages by the infertile (and, additionally, all childless marriages) are basically shams?

If you are, then I suppose I understand your viewpoint, but I doubt that there are very many people in the anti-SSM camp (most of whom are motivated by either religion or animus against homosexuals) who would agree with you. In fact, I'd think most people in the anti-SSM camp would be opposed to the insinuation that couples who don't intend on procreating should decline to marry.
