‘Consensual Incest’ Should Be Decriminalized, Advocates Say
New York Post ^ | Kathianne April 17, 2021 | Kathianne Boniello

Posted on 04/17/2021 11:06:08 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Consensual incest advocates are rooting for an anonymous New York parent who wants to marry their own adult child.

Australian Richard Morris, who is pushing to change incest laws in about 60 countries, said he supports the legal push in Manhattan Federal Court and that such behavior between consenting adults “should not be criminalized.”

He and other advocates have launched about 130 petitions, mostly on change.org, seeking to change incest laws around the world. Most have received little support.

Just go live in a Muslim country or India.

Love marriages? No.
Cousin marriages? Sure.
Keeping it all in the family.

> ...slippery slope...

Where's that cartoon of two gay guys getting married, and one tosses a bouquet back to two other guys, labeled (I think) "Pedophilia" and "Incest". Or maybe it was "Bestiality". Or "Necrophilia".

Don't ask what the slippery slope is greased with -- you don't want to know.

Yes, I remember it well. Back before Obergefell “settled” the issue, I used to point out to same-sex marriage proponents that their asinine arguments (”love is love,” “all love is equal,” “people should be able to marry anyone they want”) could very easily be extended to incestuous couples, multiple partners, etc. Scalia warned about the slippery slope, and as usual, he was right. I remember saying to the gay-marriage proponents, “Why not a grandma-grandson couple if they love each other and want to be married?” And they’d say, “That’s disgusting.” And I’d say, “Maybe I think you’re disgusting.”

Pedophilia psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children, is poking its nose under the tent.

Jews did it for hundreds of years too. My ancestors did it too. Living in small villages, you often end up marrying cousins of some degree whether you know it or not.

Though it is technically probably not always incest in the examples I was thinking of. Second or third or fourth cousins marrying probably has happened millions of times in history, with little ill effect.

Yep, that's the one. "Polygamists" -- that's the one I forgot. Thanks. :-)

It hardly matters. There's an unending line of people with fetishes and perversions and whatnot, waiting to have their personal proclivity blessed by society and the State. I fully expect to see sadomasochism and fishhook suspensions and various tortures appear in the "approved list" before they're through.

I suppose this is what's meant by "You have to hit the bottom before you can bounce back".

We have the results of closed populations where children are born of parents who are close cousins. All kinds of genetic problems occur with bazaar consequences. Google “polygamy fumarase deficiency.”

I highly doubt most incest is consensual, but opening this door allows the rapist to claim it was.

Which is horrible justification for it.

Your support of it is duly noted and disgusting.

Can demands to “decriminalize” cannibalism be far behind?
(”but only if it’s consensual, right?”}

If God doesn’t judge this country, he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.
