Why are proponents of “diverse sexuality” not supporting the poor, ostracised Deaves family?
This father and daughter just want to love each other and be happy and have kids just like anybody else.
At least they have the reproductive capacity to do this, so they won’t be a burden on the state for IVF treatment.
What loving, committed couples do in their own bedrooms is nobody else’s business is it?
Who can demonstrate that they’re engaging in unsafe sex? Even if they were, this is not illegal. Surely their HIV risk is insignificant compared to some practitioners of other diverse sexualities.
Can it be proven that incestuous couples make worse parents than other rainbow families?
We cannot use incest laws as the basis of our objections because we’ve just thrown out all those “unjust” laws which discriminated against people of other diverse sexualities.
We cannot use natural law as the basis of our objections because who are we to say what feels natural to the Deaves?
What other group of people is discriminated against because they are potentially genetically incompatible? If ante-natal scanning reveals abnormalities then safe abortion is their right just like it is for anybody else.
Why are they being persecuted when they are just practising diverse sexuality?
By any form of logic, supporters of “diverse sexuality” and Australia as a body politic can no longer object to the Deaves behaviour on any rational or consistent basis.
Where are the progressives when you need them?

What a convoluted logic you have KMB... On genetic medical grounds alone a father marrying his daughter is unfathomable. The fact that a fetus from this union may be terminated is irrelevant.

You mention logic in your statement but don't seem to have any.

>>What loving, committed couples do in their own bedrooms is nobody else’s business is it?<<

You are right (funny word right...lol) here, but, your linking it to this family is wrong. You know this of course - Are you worried about homosexuality? KMB.

Don't worry homosexuals don't require terminations usually KMB and you can't catch homosexuality.... lol

But if you are worried about AIDS, then, you should be aware that more heterosexuals around the world have AIDS - so you'd better keep your pants up...lol

If you are anti-abortion KMB ... what would you do here?

This 9 year old child may be rendered sterile if she were to be made to have the twins.

Maybe you believe this KMB

Deuteronomy 22:28-29 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found,

Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

If this is the case are you asking a 9 year old girl to marry the step father who raped her... Good luck with that argument!

Oh and to argue your last point... "the progressives" are around... they just probably won't think your comments are worthy of reply. I was bored so I replied! I am impressed that you know what progressive means though...lol

If you are a religious person I would love to hear your comments in this thread

This is a troll: see http://kb.iu.edu/data/afhc.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)

I recommend ignoring it.

I thought trolls were people who advocated shutting down discussions because they couldn't come up with a reasoned argument.

what's the deal here - is bloke step father or real father

sounds a bit Woddy Allen?

The reason why not is simple.

Children that are inbred to this extent are likely to have such
significant genetic defects that they become a charge on the community as a whole.

A continuation through generations just makes it worse.
Why do you think it is universal throughout humanity ?

Ask anyone who has a retarded child what they think of the suggestion.
