Given your argument, should childless heterosexual couples have tax incentives you refer to, say a marital deduction or should they forego that until they have children. And should unmarried parents have a childcare deduction, social security benefits for their minor children? I think the gate on that has already opened in terms of the kids, illegitimate kids are able to claim benefits under social security if parents, fathers, die.

Given my argument, neither you nor any doctor can tell when someone will be childless or continue to be so.
I do not pay taxes for someone's style of coitus. I pay taxes on male/female relationships because they are the ONLY means of producing the next generation, AND because I want that couple strengthened to raise those kids. I want to encourage families that stick together.
There is no way that a same-sex couple will EVER be the couple that produced a child. EVER.
Whereas any random couple gets consideration as having the potentiality of being that possible nest OR having BEEN that possible nest.
