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 Nick Wilson has withdrawn the bill saying it was filed in error.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.

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