The bill would remove first cousins from the list of family members with whom it's illegal to have sexual relations in the state.

Edit: there is an update to this story and Rep. Nick Wilson has withdrawn the bill saying it was filed in error. See the new thread.

First cousin parents still have a higher rate of children with disabilities than non related parents. It's not really just about the sex, it's more about the outcome of sex.

Granted these laws made more sense when most people never left the town they were born in

Couldn’t that be argued that you’re advocating for eugenics?

We still allow pregnant people to drink and smoke though and they have about the same chance so it isn’t about increased birth defects.

People just think it is icky and that people shouldn’t do it.

I am automatically against not doing something just because some people think it’s gross.

Two gay people in furry gimp suits wearing diapers and spaghetti buttplugs should be allowed to find true love
