First cousins that had children together resulting in birth defects was not really that common, and with genetic testing today that can more accurately assess risk the law is outdated. As for the social stigma a lot of people today grow up without even meeting a first cousin. I have a couple I have not seen in 55 years, would not know them if they sat down next to me.



If my daughter started frickin my brothers son I’d be pissed and I don’t care how far genetic testing has advanced.

Figs and lesbos can get married, so at least these 2 are normal folks that can have children that can properly have children the way it was intended. I highly doubt there is a single person on this board that doesnt have a little family mix in there gene pool. This will end up at the supreme court. Anyone that supported gays the right to marry, should be supporting this or proves their hypocrisy.



This hit close to home baw?

Since the advent of "23 and me" and the other DNA testing services a lot of people have found out that their brother was just a half brother, dad was not really dad, etc, probably a few that found out they actually married a cousin, or half sibling. I know there was one couple that had been dating for months, and found out they were brother and sister.

Now that gay marriage is legal, I don’t see what legal grounds can stand to prevent any number of consenting adults from marrying.

And to go further down the rabbit hole, now that children are being allowed to make life altering decisions like what gender they are, it’s only a matter of time before the issue of children being able to give consent in the same manner as an adult will arise.

Pandora’s box is wide open, folks. All we can do now is sit and watch what all sorts of perversion and evil flies out.

Worked in a small town in Alabama for a while. The town librarian was married to her first cousin. They had both ben married to someone else, both had families and their old spouses died. They had "always loved each other" and decided to get married, and so they did. I was told this about the second day I was there, so I guess it was common gossip in the town.

Small town stuff I guess.
