The phrase just looked funny to me, at first glance. Ok, so when there's mutually consenting incest, and a pregnancy results from it, then, it seems to me, that's similar to any situation where irresponsible sex resulted in a pregnancy. Let's say it's an "unwanted pregnancy". Next, an a******n may or may not occur, but there's an underlying problem which is the irresponsible sex that resulted in an unwanted pregnancy.

For me, in what happens in my life, the issue of a******n is very closedly related to the issue of severe birth defects.

Irresponsible sex resulting in unwanted pregnancies has not been a problem in my life.

But apparently irresponsible sex resulting in unwanted pregnancies _is_ a problem in many people's lives. How should that be addressed? I think, probably it should be addressed by better birth control, such as (but not limited to) condoms, "the pill", and good education about sex (and if all that isn't enough, then (maybe) early arranged marriages). Then a******ns would not happen as often. And when an a******n more rarely _does_ happen, it should be viewed as a more severe and traumatizing form of birth control, not as "murdering a baby", because a baby is what's already been born, and not the same thing as (a) a fetus, (b) an embryo, (c) a zygote, (d) a sperm cell, (e) an egg, (f) a womb, (g) falling in love, or (h) being infatuated with a person of the opposite sex. Every one of these things is significantly different from every other one on the list (except that (g) and (h) are similar -- I had been trying to distinguish between the different kinds of "love"), and significantly different from a baby.
