Initiative to require married couples to have kids

This is either the stupidist initiative ever seen, or you can consider it anti-woman and anti-gay. Ever read Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale? Right wing religion rears its ugly head......

OLYMPIA, Wash. - An initiative filed by proponents of same-sex marriage would require heterosexual couples to have kids within three years or else have their marriage annulled.

Initiative 957 was filed by the Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance. That group was formed last summer after the state Supreme Court upheld Washington's ban on same-sex marriage.

Under the initiative, marriage would be limited to men and women who are able to have children. Couples would be required to prove they can have children in order to get a marriage license, and if they did not have children within three years, their marriage would be subject to annulment.
