Yet another triumph of our post-Christian sexual morality!

An Australian woman who had a child with her father pleaded for acceptance of their illicit love as the couple appeared on national television with their baby girl after being convicted of incest.

Jenny Deaves was 31 when she was reunited with her father John Deaves, who separated from her mother three decades before. Shortly afterwards, she had considered embarking on a sexual relationship with him, she told the Nine Network.

“John and I are in this relationship as consenting adults,” she told the “60 Minutes” programme on Sunday night.

“We are just asking for a little bit of respect and understanding.”

The couple’s nine-month-old daughter, Celeste, to whom John Deaves is both father and grandfather, was also shown on the programme and appeared to be in sound health.

She is a third child, but also a half-sister, for Jenny Deaves, now 39, who has two other children from another relationship.

If the bold-faced phrases didn’t make your stomach turn over in disgust, O Reader, there’s probably no helping you at this time. If, on the other hand, your stomach did turn over in disgust…congratulations, you’re still normal and sane (enough).

John Hawkins points out that, if one adopts a more liberal/progressive worldview, there is very little remaining in one’s thinking that can cry out against a father/daughter sexual relationship. In fact, there’s very little reason to condemn it, until and unless one is willing to make an argument from Morality that certain forms of sexual relationships are wrong. And most progressives don’t want to go there.

This is social deconstruction we are witnessing.
