Once dh and I discovered that because of a genetic mutation, I would never have a healthy pregnancy/ baby, we made the decision to stop having children. It's not fair to put them into harms way.
Whether a couple is going to procreate is irrelavent (sp?) since the couple could always adopt or be childless just like a gay couple could...................
So having children aside, how does the same theory apply to consenting adults who want to be in a committed relationship with the person they love?
What if a person loves two people? Can't 3 consenting adults be in a committed relationship too?
