Any law that forbids any couple to reproduce would be unconstitutional. That doesn't mean it won't get passed by congress, since it's controlled by narrow-minded republicans, but it won't hold up under supreme court review.
Most states already forbid certain couples to marry -- gay couples. That's also unconstitutional, and will eventually be overturned. There used to be similar laws preventing inter-racial marriages, and they've all been thrown out (finally) by courts. Eventually gay marriage prohibitions will be also, though it may still take a while...simply because their legal logic is untenable according to the constitution.

I haven't heard anything about forbidding anyone to reproduce. But I know they are trying to keep gay couples from marrying.

I haven't heard anuthing about that. I don't think they could even do that. It is a free country.
