Incestuous Marriage

Also a quick comment regarding people's feelings about the health of children resulting from incestuous couples. I understand that there are high chances of abnormalities in the child. However, considering that polls are showing an incline in pro-choice, there is an easy solution for these couples. They could simply test to see how their kid is doing, and if the cookie looks like its coming out a little too bitter, just recycle and repeat. Plus, wouldn't it be their right to have deformed kids anyways?

The fact is folks. When you cast a vote regarding a law that shapes society, you inenvirtantly make it a whole lot easier for other things to make their way in as well.

20 years ago, homosexuality was a big taboo. Time went on and it slowly became OK for people to do, as long as it wasn't public. Then we started seeing it on our streets, but that was cool, as long as they kept their ideas to theirselves. A few yeasr back being homosexual became almost a fad, the media loved it. You had shows like Queer Eye for the Straight guy, and a vast array of gay men showing their taste for style on the Home Gardening Network. That was cool tho, as long as they didn't try to raise any kids or get married or nothing. Then recently, we see the concepts of right for same sex marriage, and the legalization of same sex couples being allowed to adopt. GG, snuck up on some people right?

Why can't other sexual preferences make their way through as well, especially since the road is paved?

I'm not against Gay people, but I just believe that "Marriage" should be between a man and a woman, and that children are better off in the care of a straight couple. I think the concept of having "two mommies" or "two daddies" will lead to a lot of confusion and problems amongst future generations of children, as well as confuse biological roles that the sexes play. As much as feminists don't want to admit, Women DO raise children better, and Men are, by nature, the providers. Incest is just sick. Anyone who is attracted to a relative has serious issues.InterpolWilco

 And don't get me started on abortion, and the fraudulent claims that pro-choice activists have come up with to support their case. Yeah, maybe a woman should have the right to choose, but what about that child's right TO LIVE, which is garunteed in the Bill of Rights. Sorry I got off topic InterpolWilco

For those who think Society as a whole is giving in and allowing more you are, thankfully, entirely wrong. Here in the US, most polls show that when it comes to Social issues, most people lean conservatively (While on Economic issues it seems still most people lean democrat). Gay marriage has been banned in i think 12 states now. The Federal Amendment was shot down but that was the decision of congress, not the people.

So thankfully, the US remains one of the few countries out there who believe just because the date moves forward, doesnt mean we should all of a sudden abandon our beliefs and ideals. Some things change, but some things should remain the same.

My opinion on the Issue regaurding Incest are that not only is it morally wrong, but you are putting your welfare above that of your children's. Sure, it doesnt raise the risks that much, but it does some. Not to mention the SEVERE psychological problems this is very bound to bring up.

Gay Marriage? I'm against it. There is no reason for the government to support it, as it can not lead to procreation and as most people know the recent parental studies (By most reputable psychologists) have shown that children require both a Male and Female influence to be raised properly (Yes, this is also a knock against single parents, but there isnt much you can do about that, there is something you can do about Gay's raising a child). Marriage represents certain rights, i believe these rights are mainly there to help found and support a family, which Gay's should not be allowed to have, and thus should be excluded from the Act of Marriage.

It's not like we're trying to stop them from being gay just keeping them out of Marriage. That's my opinion. Feel free to debate it or PM me but i really am tired of getting into a huge debate right now, have had a frustrating day and let's be honest, i'm outnumbers by about 500 liberals, or progressives, or socialists. I wont be able to keep up, but i wanted to contribute to this post. So feel free to bash this opinion, or defend it. Or ignore it.

Should incestuous marriage be allowed? In other words, the marriage between a brother and sister? Between two first cousins? Between a Father and his daughter? A Mother and her son? A Grandfather with his nephew? Ever had a special aunt that you had a crush on? Considering all of them are consenting adults. A little Oedipus?

Am I for it? No. However, I do see our society heading in that direction. I mean think about it, every argument used to justify freedom to practice homosexuality and the right to same sex marriage can be used in this case as well.

What are you? An incestuaphobe?!

  No on all accounts..  Not usually is it brought upon by mostly abusive relationships, but conception has a chance of malformitity of the child due to genetics being so close together..  First cousins can be difficult to say at times, if its by blood yes it should not be allowed... But what if its simply by marriage?
