Switzerland considers repealing incest laws

In January 2007, same-sex registered partnerships were passed into law in Switzerland. What has the result been as a result of this law? Well, what do you think happens when you start knocking down moral pillars? The next one falls, and the next and the next, and as the window is pushed ever further to the left, nothing will be deemed unacceptable behaviour anymore. The next pillar that Switzerland is looking to knock down is to decriminalise sex between consenting family members (yeah, wonder how you get your kids to consent??). As usual, those ever-green Greeny revolutionaries are championing for more decay to societal structures. Soon we'll have paedophiles jumping up and down to marry their "prizes" and polygamists crying out for their rights. Oh, and don't forget about those who want to marry their pets...can't let anyone not have their rights these days! 

The upper house of the Swiss parliament has drafted a law decriminalising sex between consenting family members which must now be considered by the government.

There have been only three cases of incest since 1984.

Switzerland insists that children within families will continue to be protected by laws governing abuse and paedophilia.

Daniel Vischer, a Green party MP, said he saw nothing wrong with two consenting adults having sex, even if they were related.

"Incest is a difficult moral question, but not one that is answered by penal law," he said.

Barbara Schmid Federer of The Christian People's Party of Switzerland said the proposal from the upper house was "completely repugnant."

"I for one could not countenance painting out such a law from the statute books."

The Protestant People's Party is also opposed to decriminalising the offence which at present carries a maximum three year jail term.

A spokesman for the party said: "Murder is also quite rare in Switzerland but no one suggests that we remove that as an office from the statutes."
