Incest happens among children most certainly, right up to and beyond the age of puberty which of course means female victims can become pregnant.

Personally I think the whole statement was a load of tripe, but then again I'm pro choice, so it's not really surprising.

The whole idea of incest is simply wrong although it happens a lot more than people realize so it's a big problem hiding behind a big door. People also need to remember that incest is not always something that happens between a parent and a child for example. It also happens between siblings etc. Does that make it less wrong?

Doesn't the "It's none of my business what two consenting adults do consentually in the bedroom" argument, as with Homosexuality, apply here?

Why no. It doesn't at all.

No connection whatsoever
.

That's like comparing apples and butt-rape.

In fact, homosexuality doesn't even apply to that arguement anymore because it's no secret, and nothing to be ashamed of.

btw. Hi Beest
