    No, I want you to explain your reasoning, you’re the one who made it. please explain how marrying a black person is just like marrying your first cousin.

      There’s nothing objectively wrong with either one. Both have been banned because they gross people out for purely social (bigoted) reasons.

        Incorrect. One results in higher than normal birth defects that exacerbate over time, and one is perfectly healthy. We, as a society, should try to limit birth defects, no? Are you also in favor of bringing back thalidomide?

          Out of curiosity, are you chill with incest if the couple is incapable of biological reproduction? (They’re the same sex, one or both has been sterilized, ect.)

            incest is not something I’d call myself “chill” with.

          The birth defects are on par with a woman over 30 giving birth. Want to ban that too?

            that’s not true, and false equivalencies only serve to make you seem more ridiculous. You’re gross, and your kink is historically shamed because it destroys us a viable species. I feel sorry for the people in your life.

                look at you moving goalposts. go back to disappointing your family.

                  I just misremembered. But my point still stands. You want to ban women over 34 having children?

                    no, I don’t. you seem pretty intent on trying to make me tho. banning first cousin marriages doesn’t lead to us banning all pregnancies began after the mother is 34. you’re using a logical fallacy of the slippery slope and it doesn’t apply.

            continued procreation within the family destroys the viability of the offspring eventually. This is not something to be encouraged.

          Are you for any law preventing people more likely than average to produce offspring with defects from reproducing, or just cousins?
