Emotionally, it is incest. But we're talking legally............

It is not biological incest, but familial incest, if that is the best word. It would fall under the the Biblical list of what sexual contact is forbidden. But while the Bible is the foundation of our laws, it is not the law itself, so the State is free to act as it pleases, which it clearly does now more than ever.
Having said that, it should come as no surprise that the advocates of this change would choose a nonsense complaint to show why the change should be made. This has been the exact tactic towards the entire arena of laws that touch on sexual activity, the acme of which is that we allow millions of abortions for the sake of the few pregnancies that come from rape or incest.

Tennessee is not far behind them either.

This is not incest. Come back when there is a real story. This is just for theatrics. An adult stepdaughter...no blood is not incest. I definitely don’t want people to pass laws that advocate incest but at least get a case that we can legitimately complain about.

The homosexual agenda is only about painfully abusing innocent boys for a supposed increase of power.
How soon before America goes back to calling female traits, observations, and attitudes as "people's," not "women's," "girl's," or "female's," as not to offend homosexuals, as Oprah led us in the 90's?

I used to work with a woman who married her step-brother. They were raised together since they were about 10-years-old. Totally gave me the heebie-jeebies.

Im not advocating incest by any means, but prosecuting a man for having sex with his 22 year old step-daughter, as creepy as that is
In all fairness, you guys are way over the line calling it creepy if we haven't even seen what she looks like.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

Yes, and Woody Allen ended up marrying his. But think of the bizarre permutations of the definition of “family.” (Like we don’t have enough of those already.)

“Greg and Marsha Brady could have had sex and it would not have been incest. I think incest pertains to blood kin.”
You are correct. Incest pertains to sexual relationshops involving blood kin, and blood kin only - be the “relationship” parent/child or sibling/sibling or, in most (if not all) states, cousin/cousin.

>>an Ohio man convicted of incest for having sex with his 22-year-old stepdaughter<<
What if the stepdaughter was 12 yrs. old when it started? What if this guy had been at the girl for years before she decided that was what she wanted at the time of this guy’s arrest? There must be some morality in the laws if society wants to protect the innocents.
Rick Santorum was definitely right about this slippery slope.

Yeah, it was....creepy.
