Prove you can bear children or no wedding license?
According to an article published in 247Gay.com, The Washington Defense of Marriage wants to try to push "a state ballot measure that would limit marriage only to couples who prove they can bear children within three years." To their credit, they seem to recognize that this is idiotic and won't stand up in court, however:
According to a Campbell's Soup Co. survey, "89 percent of young, childless couples handle the basics or consider themselves pretty good cooks. " Meaning we won't be eating much canned soup, because we have time to cook a good dinner. Right?

In Korea, familes of two are choosing to remain as they are instead of having children. This article says economic reasons and lack of government support are partly to blame.

The Associated Press reports that 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. The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) limits marriage to a union of one man and one woman.[LINK]

Great proposition. I hope this gets a lot of press. It will only serve to bring our cause to the front. The childfree movement in not disimilar to the "gay pride" movement and their issues.
I guess married couples who plan to have children, but find out they cannot concieve would have to get divorced, right? I am sure the Pope will be in favor of this.
Re: Campbells' Soup...I use my can to crush garlic cloves. Great kitchen tool!
Re: Koreans, yeah, that's it, blame the government. That seems like a pat solution to me. Perhaps it's a trend more related to education and prosperity levels as in other parts of the world?
