The U.S already denies marriage to those with the same blood type.
No they don't. Some states require blood tests before a couple can get married but that is so they know what blood type their partner has incase of an emergency situation, and in a few cases some states require the test so your partner knows if you have any STD's.
It would be almost impossible to deny it to the same blood type because then people would have to know what the other persons blood type is before they ask them out because otherwise they would be wasting their time. Also since about 40% of the population has type O blood that would keep a large portion of the population from marrying a large portion of the population, it just wouldn't make sense.
Yes, churches should be able to make their own choices on who they can marry, but a civil marrige performed by an agent of the government should not be avalible to every consenting adult
