Lawful incest may be on its way - The Boston Globe

Thre are now some legal battles brewing that are attempting to decriminalize incest between consenting adults. They are basing their arguments upon Supreme Court decisions that struck down laws against homosexual behavior. Here is a quote from the article: "Time's attention, like the BBC's, has been caught by the legal battles underway to decriminalize incest between consenting adults. An article last month by Time reporter Michael Lindenberger titled "Should Incest Be Legal?" highlights the case of Paul Lowe, an Ohio man convicted of incest for having sex with his 22-year-old stepdaughter. Lowe has appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court, making Lawrence [a previous court case] the basis of his argument. In Lawrence, the court had ruled that people "are entitled to respect for their private lives" and that under the 14th Amendment, "the state cannot demean their existence or control their destiny by making their private sexual conduct a crime." If that was true for the adult homosexual behavior in Lawrence, why not for the adult incestuous behavior in the Ohio case?" If that's true, then a whole avalanche of law regulating sexual behavior and relationships will be called into question. As those laws change certainly those questions will be asked of the church also. It's coming friends, and sooner than you may think.
