It was only a matter of time... Legalized polygamy, pedophilia up next.

[PennEd]

Tell 2 men that it's perfectly fine to have perverted sex with each other. Call their perversion equal to God ordained, natural heterosexual couples. Allow them to "marry", and that leaves the obvious question. Why should ANY OTHER sexual union be prohibited?


Germans May Approve Incest

 

[Elijah19]

This is why America should never have approved of gay marriage so much in the first place! Actually, one must really wonder why they would want to make marriage official for them anyway. They already take part in their perverted acts without care for marriage anyway. The only reason a homosexual would want to get "married" to another is not to share in equality and be tolerated, as they would have us believe, but to have the rest of society condoning what is obviously wrong and not making them feel like what they are... sinners who need God and Jesus just like the rest of us. A reform of heart is needed for them.

Laws prohibiting incest (defined strictly in terms of intercourse) are generally difficult to enforce for obvious reasons, and vary widely by jurisdiction. Some countries, and a handful of US states, don't have statutes against incestual intercourse. Of the jurisdictions that do prohibit it, many don't consistently enforce these statutes.

Of course, marriage and childbearing between two siblings, or between two affiliates of the same immediate family, is another matter.

That was legal there until last year.

Sadly this is hardly surprising. I just feel sorry for the children. 50% of their children are disabled. There's a reason why incest has always been taboo. Does Germany really want to open this can of worms?

Aww, JesusChica missed out.

Beastiality legal in Germany? naww, you're kiddin', right?

Sensationalism at its finest. How about actual lawmakers responses to this statement?

Responding to the vote, spokeswoman for Angela Merkel's CDU party, Elisabeth Winkelmeier-Becker, told Deutsche Welle the abolition of the law against incest would give out the wrong signal.
"Abolishing criminal punishment against incestuous actions within a family would go completely against protecting the undisturbed development of children," she added.
Stephan Mayer, interior policy spokesman of the CDU parliamentary group in the Bundestag told Bild: “The recommendation is scandalous!
“Incest between siblings and close relatives is not without reason criminalised. Hereditary diseases and disabilities are the result of children from such a connection.
“The Ethics Council must wonder if it is still up to its name and order with this immoral advance. The decision of the committee is absolutely unacceptable.”
Germany, as with most Council of Europe states, bars consensual sexual acts between adult siblings.
