How long before this becomes legal in the USA?

Post by Nightshade »

Heck, since marriage is no longer limited to a male/female set of partners and gay marriage is no longer 'taboo...'
Australian judge says incest may no longer be a taboo

Judge in Australia says incest may no longer be a taboo and the only reason it is criminal is potential birth abnormalities, which can be solved by abortion

A judge in Australia has been criticised after saying incest may no longer be a taboo and that the community may now accept consensual sex between adult siblings.
Judge Garry Neilson, from the district court in the state of New South Wales, likened incest to homosexuality, which was once regarded as criminal and "unnatural" but is now widely accepted.
He said incest was now only a crime because it may lead to abnormalities in offspring but this rationale was increasingly irrelevant because of the availability of contraception and abortion.
"A jury might find nothing untoward in the advance of a brother towards his sister once she had sexually matured, had sexual relationships with other men and was now 'available', not having [a] sexual partner," the judge said.
And besides! If pregnancy results, JUST ABORT IT! Cool deal huh?

Of course, any person that said this would ever be suggested in a real way was out of their mind.

There was a time when anyone stating gay marriage is OK was considered out of their mind.

except for gay people, their friends and relatives. They talked about it all the time, I suspect, once people stopped being killed for being gay.

Thats like saying the incest issue is only being talked about by other incest prone people, their friends and of course...relatives.

Look at it this way. Gay people can't procreate and make imbeciles and genetic freaks like incestual relations can.

In animal breeding there is a term called "Line Breeding". Look it up TC, before you start looking totally uninformed.

Yes, but if you read the article…that point is irrelevant.
