I picked that parameter because Kurtz picked it to "show" that SSM is wrecking havoc with marriage in the Netherlands. He discusses why one can't look at the <i>marriage</i> rate or the <i>divorce</i> rate in one of his articles. Guess what? The marriage rate and divorce rates look good in Scandinavia! If you read the whole of Kurtz numerous articles-- most telling you that "soon" he will reveal his data, you will see the definition of "cherry picking" data. He finds reasons to not look at every single reasonable parameter that might be used to assess the health of marriage. He also finds reasons to NOT look at Norway, Sweeden of Denmark when examining data on what's happening in Scandinavia. Nope. The Netherlands is clearer! Unfortunately, numerous people then comment "He's proven it"! So, one does have to show that he has not.... I sincerely doubt you are missing anything!
