Why this petition matters

Started by Richard Chu

The present Pennsylvania laws against Adult Consensual Incest, are cruel, unjust, highly discriminatory, unconstitutional ( because they breach the individual's right to the pursuit of happiness), and in breach of United Nations human rights laws that protect the right of the individual to sexual autonomy and the right to have a family. Pennsylvania, and other US states that also maintain such out-dated laws, need : to amend the law against incest so that it is not applicable in the cases where participants are both consenting adults over the age of 21. In addition, for those who have been convicted in such circumstances to have both the custodial and non-custodial elements of their sentences reviewed with a view to being quashed in light of any change to the law.
