I understand, although i could be mistaken, that attempting suicide in Texas is punishable by death. Probably one of those old school laws that arent actually enforced in court, but its still funny.

Oooh! I should have added that. Oh well.
 
Well, West Virginia and Mississippi automatically disqualify the "marry your first cousin" thing. I don't count Alabama because it wouldn't shock me if they criminalized it as kind of a "tag, you're it" they always play with the 'sippy next door.

Put me down for 3rd trimester abortion.

Sure, I'll get the fed to print some money.

I will like to use 50/50
 
Google has let me down. I have no clue and I am now curious. Interesting question, good job.
 
The only one I thought was legitly possible was marry someone of a different race (maybe an arcane law that was never overturned?).

*Edit: Marry your first cousin seems legitly possible too.

The answer could technically be found on this site, since I have used the most helpful link in some same sex marriage debates.

I didn't check the sodomy laws. Sorry.
 
That's fine. I don't have to plow her in the ass.

Besides, that would create an awkward conversation come family reunion time.

In all those states and your own, incest as a crime does not include sex with cousins, although aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews are included. There are also some states that include step-siblings/parents and adopted siblings.

I can't see why they'd include that. I thought the purpose of criminalizing incest was so the gene pool doesn't get weakened. A bigger argument is that my stepmom as a kid was a complete bitch-dog.

Because it isn't all about the gene pool. Some of the reasons for the laws against incest are more about immorality of sleeping with close relatives, even just by legality, rather than the affect to children. I believe there is at least one state, maybe a few more, that include inlaws too.

Personally, I think it should depend on when the step-/adopted siblings came into the family. This makes a difference on the undue influence that can reasonably assumed in the relationship.
 
Bah, hell with the immorality.

All I know is that if I was a kid and some smoking hot chick came to live with me as a "step-sister" I'd totally be hiding in her closet and planting cameras in the shower.

Whatever it makes me, it makes me.

But how would you feel if it was the other way around? What if it was a 9 y/o girl who got a 15 y/o stepbrother who worked his way into her life as an intimate friend? What if the brother is only 13? At what age difference is that influence not an issue? There really wouldn't need to be actual sexual contact til consenting age is reached for the younger party, but that doesn't mean that the influence is not harmful.

Most people have two sets of standards between girls and boys, especially when it comes to intimate encounters. But, then again, even studies are starting to show that the most common form of incest is older brother/younger sibling.
 
Well, if your age doesn't end in "teen" it's just creepy. Maybe I'm weird, but at 12 I was more interested in baseball than girls. Also, if the age difference is too extreme, it's bad. And, yes, there is a double standard. If a 13 year old boy was peeking on his 16 year old stepsister, I'd turn a blind eye more than a 16 year old boy and 13 year old stepsister.

Of course, if it's not forced to too coerced, whatever happens happens. In the words of Red Foreman on That 70s Show, "Don't be comin 'round here with no 'flipper' grandchildren".
