Ted Cruz, Mike Lee Propose “Marriage Only for the Fertile”

Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced legislation to ban all marriages and nullify all existing marriages in which the couple cannot conceive or chooses to be childless for any reason.

“Marriage is only for procreation. If a couple is going to get married and not have children so they can live some liberal free love lifestyle then it is an insult to the sanctity of marriage,” said Lee.

Cruz added, “Infertility is God’s way of saying you need to be single.” Next the duo intend to coauthor a bill to ban married couples from utilizing birth control, men from getting vasectomies, and women from getting their tubes tied. “Marriage is only for the fertile,” a spokesman for Lee said.

“This is the next logical step in protecting traditional marriage and family values.”
