News9.com reports that state lawmakers are considering throwing out marriage in Oklahoma.
The idea stems from a bill filed by Rep. Mike Turner (R-Edmond). Turner says it's an attempt to keep same-sex marriage illegal in Oklahoma while satisfying the U.S. Constitution. Critics are calling it a political stunt while supporters say it's what Oklahomans want.
" My constituents are) willing to have that discussion about whether marriage needs to be regulated by the state at all," Turner said.

Just how do these morons think they are going to throw out marriage in their state?
Are they going to outlaw birth as well, just to make sure there is no sex, either?

that would require mandatory birth control and abortion. They're more inclined to require birth.

(54,295 posts)4. Interesting approach
They'll outlaw sex but not birth. That way, they ensure a lot of little Jesus clones running around.

it would do wonders for reducing the divorce rate in Oklahoma.
