Maryland's Ban on Same-Sex Marriage

Regarding the Sept. 19 front-page article "Md.'s Highest Court Upholds Ban on Same-Sex Marriage":

I have a few questions for the judges on the Maryland Court of Appeals who voted against granting marriage rights to gay and lesbian couples.

What exactly is the state's interest in heterosexual procreation? Is there a population shortage we should be aware of? And what are they doing to make sure that only married heterosexuals procreate? If the primary argument against allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry is that they will not procreate on their own, what measures do the judges hope to put in place to ensure that non-procreating heterosexuals are not allowed to marry?
