“Is Consensual Adult Incest Okay?”. March 12, 2008 – “Once, we open the door to approving incestuous marriages and sexual relationships, where is the justification for prohibiting other incestuous relationships; let us say, a normal male of a retarded female relative, based on the consensual nature of that relationship. […] To me the worst implication is that the state once again is lowering the bar of what society considers appropriate moral standards-behavior, with the next step even easier and so on, until we can justify man-boy sexual relationships and/or marriages.”
