The only incest cases I know of are in blue states - here's a couple: McKenzie Phillips was raped by her father, one of the Mamas and Papas, and had a 10 yr affair with him: Phillips, 49, the former star of '70s-'80s sitcom "One Day at a Time," told Oprah Winfrey that she was first raped by her father in a hotel room when she was 18 while passed out after a drug binge but continued to use drugs and have consensual sex with him for years. The relationship continued long after she married Jeff Sessler when she was 19, and ended only when she became pregnant and feared her father was the baby's father, Phillips said. John Phillips, she said, paid for an abortion. Reading an excerpt from her new book, "High on Arrival," on Winfrey's show today, Phillips said of her first sexual experience with her father: "I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my father. I don't know how it started." She was raped by her father, lead singer of the Mamas and the Papas, in the hotel room in the late 1970s, Phillips said. ........ Mackenzie Phillips told Winfrey she confronted her father about the rape, but he characterized their relationship as romantic, Mackenzie said. "After the first experience, I went to my father and said we need to talk about how you raped me. My dad said: 'Raped you? Don't you mean made love?' In that moment, I thought I'm really on my own here." .......... "It became a consensual relationship over time. I can't believe I'm the only one this happened to," she said. "No matter what kind of incest, it is an abuse of power ... a betrayal of trust." She forgave her father on his deathbed, but his death, in 2001, relaunched her abuse of drugs, Phillips said. ........ abcnews.go.com Columbia Professor Charged With Sleeping With Daughter huffingtonpost.com The liberal professor defends it thusly: 'It’s ok for homosexuals to do whatever they want in their own home. How is this so different? ‘We have to figure out why some behaviour is tolerated and some is not.’ - See more at: libertynews.com Yes, many liberals are willing to defend incestuous marriages: Stanford Law Prof: No Marriage Equality Until Polygamy and Adult Incest Legalized Posted on July 8th, 2011 marriage \| 14 Comments The New York Times last Sunday published an opinions piece by Stanford Law Professor Ralph Richard Banks that essentially argues that American society has not achieved “marriage equality” by allowing same sex couples to marry. He argues that polygamy and incestuous marriage between adults should be legalized in order to evolve to full marriage equality: Historically, both polygamy and incest have been more widely practiced, and accepted, than the Supreme Court, and most Americans, seem to believe. Over time, our moral assessments of these practices will shift, just as they have with interracial marriage and same sex marriage. We will begin to take seriously questions that now seem beyond the pale: Should a state be permitted to imprison two cousins because they have sex or attempt to marry? Should a man and two wives be permitted to live together as a family when they assert that their religious convictions lead them to do so? So, as I and others have argued, the real issue is “marriage deconstruction” not “marriage equality” in the debate over whether same sex couples should be allowed to marry. In other words, the fight is between those who believe that societies should encourage people to have sex and make babies only within a public institution called marriage, defined uniformly for all as one man and one woman. The opposite view is not “allow same sex couples to marry,” but to abandon any common, culture-wide definition of marriage and allow each person to do what he or she thinks is right in regards to marriage, sex and family. However, the harmful results societies suffer from this “self autonomy” view of marriage have caused world cultures to reject it. The common experience of human societies since the dawn of history is that the “self autonomy” model of sex, marriage and family causes men to act irresponsibly (because it is all about one’s self-fulfillment),by exploiting women and neglecting the children the men produce. ........ blog.speakupmovement.org
