I married my second wife after having a vasectomy.
You intentionally damaged your ability to procreate; you violated your own bodily integrity. I pass no moral judgment on whether that's a right or wrong thing. I simply make an objective statement of what is. And it is irrelevant. If your damaged bodily integrity were restored, you would be able to procreate. I reiterate: The capacity to procreate may be diminished (even to zero) in certain men and women; age, illness, injury and defect combine to have this effect. Regardless, procreation is at the center of male-female sexual union. A healthy man and a healthy woman can procreate. The inability of two men to procreate with each other, or of two women to procreate with each other has NOTHING to do with their bodily integrity. It is against their nature to be able to procreate. I reiterate: There is no physical act two males can do with their bodies that will produce a baby. There no physical act two females can do with their bodies that will produce a baby. That is simple biology.
Civil marriage can be about all kinds of issues
People may do many things for bad reasons; that does not alter the nature of the thing they are doing. Marriage is fundamentally about procreation. It exists for the purpose of providing an optimal environment for raising children.
One doesn’t have to be married to procreate.
People do many things that are not optimal. This is a problem. Pretending that they are doing things optimally when they are not is stupid.
putting her religious views
Question begging is a logical fallacy.
should I be denied a marriage license if I have no intention of procreation?
should I be denied a marriage license if I don’t believe in Christ?
the idea that marriage is for the purpose of procreation is a religious vies and is not necessary anywhere in the US as a requirement to get married.
There are no barriers to a homosexual getting married that are not based on religious viewpoint. That is the problem with a government entity refusing to issue a marriage license or refusing to allow her staff to issue a marriage license based on *her* and not their viewpoint.
Again, if she were a Muslim and would not issue a marriage license to a Christian, would you still back her?
