So much for "prompting a discussion." Once again, both sides of the political Fuck The Middle system just scream "I'm being reasonable and you're being an ass" at each other.
OLYMPIA, Washington (AP) -- Proponents of same-sex marriage have introduced a ballot measure that would require heterosexual couples to have a child within three years or have their marriages annulled.
The Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance acknowledged on its Web site that the initiative was "absurd" but hoped the idea prompts "discussion about the many misguided assumptions" underlying a state Supreme Court ruling that upheld a ban on same-sex marriage.....
Cheryl Haskins, executive director of Allies for Marriage and Children, said opponents of same-sex marriage want only to preserve marriage as the union of a man and a woman."Some of those unions produce children and some of them don't," she said.
