God you are loony, eliminating procreation from those who could not marry does nothing. Now, how do you stop them from marrying now?
Before you could ban them, now you can't.
And, how many times have I posted that the cousins had to be sterile? Dozens of time maybe?
As you have said- your opposition to sibling marriage is for procreation.
Except you are also opposed to sibling marriage if they cannot procreate.
Meaning you must have some other reason to be against sibling marriage other than procreation.
Dood, wrap this around your head, if one is legalized, you can't prohibit the other. Fertility does not matter
I need zero other reason.
Sure can- first cousins can marry in Wisconsin- as long as they can't procreate.
And they prohibit first cousins who are not able to procreate from marrying.
The same could apply to siblings- but States- all States prohibit all Siblings from marrying- fertile or not?
Why?
i have no knowledge as to why Wisconsin allowed cousin, but not sibling except they might have had a compelling state interest in it. I simply do not know.
And the compelling State interest in that case would not be procreation then.
IF the compelling argument to deny marriage to siblings was only procreation- then Wisconsin would have allowed siblings to marry- IF they were sterile just as First Cousins can marry.
Therefore- while procreation is one of the compelling arguments- it is not the only compelling arguments.
Love your assumption.
So to test your assumption, what other reason would meet the compelling state interest test?
