GOP lawmakers argue to keep first cousin marriage legal.

[Lord-Humungus]

One of the best things the government should do

Is regulating people’s personal lives? How much of your personal life do you need the government to control?

Only in TN. They passed a bill not too long ago that was rooted in the conspiracy theory of "chemtrails" didn't they?

Appalachia hell.

Cousin Marriages - Aish.com

aish.com

It is permitted under Torah law for cousins to marry. In fact, the Sages seem to view marriages between relatives as desirable. The Talmud recommends that a person marry his niece (Yevamot 62b). (There’s a debate in the commentators if it applies specifically to a sister’s daughter or also to a brother’s.) The assumption is that a person will have an especially close relationship with a close relative, perhaps because of their likely similar personalities and values. The reasoning may be the same for a cousin, but the Talmud doesn't mention it. (I should point out that for a woman to marry her nephew is forbidden from the Torah – Leviticus 18:12-13.)

Nonsense.

CAre to comment on the topic at hand?

But I did. Nobody buys your crocodile tears of 'caring'.

Turns out the main proponent's grandparents were first cousins, lol.

Gotta love Appalachia.

Republican argues in favor of first-cousin marriages, Tennessee moves to ban them anyway

Rep. Gino Bulso said last week his grandparents were first cousins.

The world has enough republicans.

Let Incest Joe know.

So did the Arabs. It cracks me up when they go off on Appalachia.

The part that keeps my children from marrying people with defective genes from incest.

Thanks for asking.

You would not want your child to marry who they love.

 

[HeyNorm]

You would not want your child to marry who they love.

Not if it creates defective children.

Please, tell me you didn’t nor ever will procreate.

 

[Lord-Humungus]

Please, tell me you didn’t nor ever will procreate.

So you would prefer to see your grandchildren killed than be born with some type of defect. Your own kids happiness is irrelevant to you. Jesus Christ you are a horrible parent and need to have your kids taken from you before you harm them.

And we just found another living in his own wittle world.

Go forth and don’t multiply

You are the sick **** who is not concerned about your children’s happiness.

Tell us about you prom date ……..

No, please don’t.

No, please don’t.

Did you run out of ways to show us how shitty of a parent you are

 

[justoffal]

I may find it sick and disgusting or a degenerate lifestyle, but what consisting adults do is their business. Government for the most part needs to stay out of people’s personal lives and allow them to live the life they choose.

It's much better when a gay predator engages in a pedophilic relationship in their view. They have no comment about it.

Can you imagine? What next?? Two dudes marrying?

Nothing but reprehensible idiocy from Republicans:

DeSantis Signs Law Banning Water Breaks and Cooling Measures from Florida Workers - Public Citizen

Denying any worker access to water or shade in the heat of summer is inhumane and cruel, yet Florida just allowed employers...

Voting for Republicans is madness.

The Democratic shitholes are in madness right now. No one wants this crap any longer.

If keeping my kids from incest makes me shitty. Then I’m all in.
