The birth rate of women in this group is so small that the Census Bureau and the CDC don’t even report it. For these women, "the" purpose of marriage is not procreation, not about bringing together moms and dads. ... So this is what Maggie [Gallagher] needs to resolve:  We’ve got two groups, both of whom wish to marry, neither of whom can conceive on their own. According to Maggie that’s a bad combination.
