Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.
~It’s unenforceable as a law.
~It’s not enforced.
~False prosecutions are more likely than real ones.
~Most states have decided this isn’t worthy of being illegal.
~Aren’t there enough serious crimes clogging up our justice system?
~What you do in someone else’s bedroom is not the state’s business.
~Everyone would have to be put behind bars.
~Jesus taught that lust is adultery, will we prosecute that next, too?
~Who is harmed by voluntary adultery?
~Haven’t you heard of the 18th and 21st Amendments?
