In which Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan explains menopause to an anti-gay marriage lawyer

Kagannnnnnnn!

Even with respect to couples over the age of 55, it is very rare that both parties to the couple are infertile.

I’m torn between wondering what fucking planet this dude spends most of his time on where women over 50 are routinely getting pregnant without medical intervention and wondering where he’s going with the argument that it’s somehow totally different, maritally speaking, if only one partner is infertile.

I mean, here’s the thing.  People having homosex aren’t (necessarily) infertile.  They’re having non-procreative sex.  Either or both of them could, hypothetically speaking, go get their hetero bone on and make a baby with someone else.  Buuuuuuuut this really doesn’t fall within the parameters of ye olde marriage being for procreation only argument, because the conception in that case would fall outside the marriage. 

A couple having heterosex while one or both partners is infertile is in the same goddamn boat.  You can hand-wave about how it’s not common for both partners to be infertile (because dudes can TOTALLY FATHER BABIES FOREVER IRRESPECTIVE OF AGE LALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU, I guess) until you’re blue in the face, but it doesn’t change that.  If you, a fertile person, get opposite-married to an infertile person, and take zero steps to surmount that infertility (sperm donation, surrogacy, whatever), it doesn’t matter that you’re fertile.  You, as a couple, are not going to be procreating.  You are having non-procreative sex.  Just like the same-sex couple.

And, just like the same-sex couple, you can still theoretically go get your extramarital bone on with somebody else, and theoretically produce a baby that way, but—and I apologize if this is news to you, but it shouldn’t be, because most states’ marriage licensing procedures do cover it—shouting “Straight marriage powers activate!” does not result in the baby under discussion becoming the issue of your legal union (Texaco, Inc. v. Pennzoil Co., 729 S.W.2d 768 (Tex. App. 1987)).

Reblogging for smart commentary!  I love that this Cooper idiot was the best they could come up with.
