[JoethePleb]

In a brief filed Monday Attorney General Greg Abbott said the state's ban on same sex marriage is constitutional because it promotes child birth in "stable, lasting relationships."

This come after he denied accepting over 5,700 petitions asking him to stop defending the state's ban in court.

1. So let's yank away those marriage licenses from hetero couples who...

don't want or can't have children. Get on it Greg!

2. Nah, cuz the real reason he used that excuse is he is a vicous bigot no good

motherphucking asshole


Not because he gives a good god damn about procreation...

too harsh?

7. I live in San Antonio

and Texas has no problem with my Louisiana wedding license obtained after my wife's hysterectomy. They won't let us have food stamps, but we can be married all we want.

3. No more post-menopausal marriages

The elderly lose on two counts - their marriages are not comparatively "long lasting", nor do they produce children by means other than adoption.

4. So Abbot must really favor legalizing bigamy!

5. So all the gay guys would magically marry all the lesbian women?

And then magically start having babies, and staying together because every woman needs a decorator and every man needs a good mechanic?

6. Let it be written that if the woman is barren, then she should hire a handmaiden to..

bear his children. If he is barren, it is still her fault.

8. I'm sure Gregg will get right on invalidating marriages of the obese, aged, infirm, illiterate,

infertile, disinterested, asexual, etc.

Or not.

9. Not to sound insensitive

but can Greg still even, umm...you know...anymore?

10. Good question---which, as you indicate, has to be asked very carefully. (nt)

11. Greg Abbott uses a wheelchair.

Someone should gently (?) remind him that in many parts of the world, people with disabilities like him are not allowed to marry.
