Pardon me while my head explodes.
What the hell? Who puts a baby in a microwave? Obviously I am outraged that someone would do that to a helpless infant. But what is just the icing on the cake is it is okay for manifestly incompetent (for whatever reason, legitimate or otherwise) and dangerous people to parent children as long as a penis penetrates a vagina. This may be an extreme case, but incompetent parents are hardly rare. Talk to me some time about the kids I worked with while interning at County Youth Services whose parents had no business making babies.
The right can stop shoveling the bullshit about marriage being about creating a safe environment for raising children. If states asked questions like, "Do you have a mental illness that would cause you to be a danger to your spouse or offspring?" before granting a marriage license, they might have a stronger argument. But they don't. They are not trying to protect marriage. They just want to regulate sex. Tell you what. If straight folk can ever effectively manage their own sexual behavior, maybe I'll listen to their arguments about state regulation of sex acts.
