[Mrs. Don-o]

As I poined out at #19, willing, noncoerced, unharmed adult couples would never be prosecuted: it would be a non-issue. With consenting couples and no damage or injury, who would produce evidence? Who would bring charges? Nada, nadie, nunca, nemo.

It would only become actionable if one party had a grievance, and evidence of wrongdoing. Injury. Tort.

Here's the choice before us:

Put sodomy in the criminal code as illegal for all...

Or leave sodomy out of the criminal code, in which case it morphs into a human right (has already happened), sodomy-enthusiasts become a protected class (has already happened), and it becomes illegal to advocate AGAINST harmful deviant sex practices, even in our schools, religious organizations, and health care providers, whether from a moral, religious, sociological or public health/epidemiology point of view.

Everyone who does not go along with this, including K-12 teachers and ministers of the Gospel, will be unemployable and will be prosecuted.

I'm not predicting this. I'm reporting it.

I’m sorry, but that’s a terrible idea. Criminalizing consensual marital sex?

Setting aside the potential for abuse in divorces or other strained relationships (you’re perhaps unaware that the sodomy prosecution in Lawrence v. Texas resulted from the tipoff of a scorned lover), you’re also suggesting that married couples wink at the law and disobey it. That’s an even worse idea that can only foster contempt for the law in general. And with good reason - a law designed to be selectively applied is a law worthy of our contempt.

The government has no business in our marital beds. To suggest otherwise is an invitation to statism at its very worst.
