After the world was formed, God finished His work of creation by raising one man from the dust and one woman from the man’s ribs. ( Genesis 2:21-22 ) The Lord made only two people, so the only people available for Adam and Eve’s sons to marry were their own sisters. Consequently, although this is not stated, the only logical conclusion is that Cain married his sister and they had children together.

By modern legal definition, Cain would have had to commit incest with one of his sisters in order to create offspring because he had no other choice. “If the entire human race came from an original pair then this was unavoidable,” according to Don Stewart .

By biblical standards,however, Cain was not breaking any laws because these did not exist at the time. God formed woman from the rib of man so that “a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh” ( Genesis 2:24 ). In other words, children and parents are not to have sexual relations with or marry each other; yet, no actual laws about incest were given in the unspoiled world of Eden before the Fall, or even before the Exodus.

After the Exodus, God commanded “none of you shall approach any one of his close relatives to uncover nakedness” ( Leviticus 18:6 ). But Cain was not subject to that law. “The regulations of the Law of Moses were binding only upon those to whom it was given at the time,” according to the Christian Courier .

Even so, “God has never approved of indiscriminate sexual activity outside of the marriage relationship in any age of human history” including incest because “it strikes at the soundness of the family. And since the family is central to God’s purposes and work on earth, his judgment on this practice is fierce” as stated in the Christian Courier .

God also forbade incest to prevent genetic deformities which are less common in the general population, where intermarriage is not typical. Let’s explore these two points.

Don Stewart explains “the commandment against [incest] strengthened the structure of the family unit.” One way to understand what he means is to examine what happens to victims and witnesses of incest.

In the case of consensual incest, there is a possibility that one or both parties are acting out the negative effects of previous sexual abuse suffered personally or witnessed as a child. These individuals are “at an increased risk for revictimization,” often unconsciously, according to the website , and for them, the “line between involuntary and voluntary participation in sexual behavior is blurred.”

Whether sexual sin is involved or not, creating a strong and safe family unit becomes much harder in the wake of incest.

An example of the negative impact of incest can be found as early as Genesis 19 with Lot’s daughters. They grew up in Sodom and Gomorrah , cities associated with “ sexual immorality and ‘unnatural lust,’” according to Britannica . Sexual depravity was so openly displayed that it is reasonable to imagine Lot’s daughters witnessed incest.

Genesis 19:13 says God sent angels to destroy the cities because “the outcry to the LORD against its people [was] so great.” After Lot’s family fled God’s destruction, his wife was turned into a pillar of salt as she looked back on the burning cities, and Lot found a cave for his daughters and him to rest in. The girls got their father drunk and had sex with him ( Genesis 19:33-35 ). Although there was no written commandment against incest at this time, Jews knew that sexual union with one’s parent was not part of God’s plan for procreation ( Genesis 2:24 ).

The psychological impact on witnesses of sexual sin could help us to understand why Lot’s daughters behaved as they did. Furthermore, they were offered as potential victims of abuse by their father in place of the angels who had visited his home ( Genesis 19:8 ). As currency for exchange in this transaction, could the girls have questioned their value, their identity, and the unity between husband and wife which sex was intended to foster? These girls emerged from a culture of depravity which influenced their behavior in the cave.

The girls were witnesses, then potential victims, and finally perpetrators of incest which led to the births of two sons whose futures embodied the destruction of family caused by sexual crime. The sons these sisters bore would start two tribes related to but frequently in conflict with Israel: the Moabites and Ammonites.

The original intention of family was to “reflect God's character” but more than that: “it provides a safe place where children can experience God's love (through their parents) and learn how to love other people,” Focus on the Family stated. No family is perfect, but incest destroys and distorts God’s purpose for family. The biblical example above demonstrates the potential for long-term consequences.

The more insular a community is, the more prevalent certain diseases will be. Scientists report that “many unique genetic disorders [] result” when communities begin or persist with “small founding populations and cultural isolation,” according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information .

While genetic mutation is not specifically mentioned in Mosaic law, only references to being “unclean” or “defiled” ( Leviticus 18:24 ), Don Stewart asserts that God did not permit intermarriage among his chosen people to lessen the likelihood of genetic issues. “The future health of the nation Israel was insured by this commandment,” Stewart wrote.

From the evidence above, one might conclude that God’s plan was flawed from the start. If Cain and his sister had children together, they would have passed on genetic mutations leading to birth defects and a host of diseases. Such a conclusion, however, overlooks the fact that “when God created the world, […] it was very good” and without sin, according to Matt Slick . “There was no suffering. And, there was no pain. It was not until Adam and Eve freely chose to rebel against God, that pain and suffering entered into the world,” he said. Part of that pain and suffering includes disease and deformity.

Inter-family procreation is likely to cause genetic deformities today. In the beginning, however, “there would not be the usual genetic defects arising from intermarriage” because “Adam and Eve were created perfect with a perfect gene pool,” Slick said. Only later would families see the genetic results of intermarriage inter-family procreation.

God has made a convincing case against incest and demonstrated that incest is both a cause of and a result of disobedience and pain. God Almighty always has a plan, however.

He redeemed the sin committed by Lot’s daughters. Ruth, as a Moabite, traced her genealogy back to Lot and his daughters in the cave in Genesis 19 . Jesus’ traced his lineage back to Ruth through the line of His adopted father, Joseph.

“God weaves his grace […] through the genealogies” and He “loves to produce something beautiful out of sordid family backgrounds,” Jon Bloom said.

Although God’s Word offers wisdom and direction in the matter of marriage and sexual behavior in order to protect His children, many people are living with genetic illness, the sin of having committed incest, or the shame of victimization. The bodies of believers will be made perfect in heaven forevermore, but even now, Jesus offers freedom. He can redeem confessed sin, bring peace and hope to a life thrown into chaos by illness, and help victims of sexual crime forgive those responsible and experience emotional freedom.

An adolescent patient came into a Jacksonville Planned Parenthood center seeking an abortion for a pregnancy she said was the result of incest, according to Dr. Shelly Tien, a provider at the clinic. But the middle school-aged girl wasn't able to get an abortion in Florida — she was past 15 weeks pregnant .
"That is heartbreaking as physicians, as healthcare providers," Tien said during a press conference this week. "To not be able to provide that service because of a restriction for a patient in such a terrible and violent situation, it is horrible."
Planned Parenthood then helped the patient leave Florida to get an abortion. Planned Parenthood did not disclose where the patient traveled to for the abortion, nor her exact age or whether she was local to Jacksonville.
The story was first reported by BuzzFeed .
Tien described another middle school-aged patient who arrived at Planned Parenthood's Jacksonville center recently seeking an abortion after traveling from several states away.
The girl arrived without shoes and basic necessities but wasn't able to get an abortion as she was also over 15 weeks pregnant. Employees at the center bought the patient shoes and other things her family needed. It's not clear whether this patient was sent out of Florida for an abortion or whether she got one. The doctor didn't mention if the pregnancy was a result of rape or incest.
"The more we talked the more scared and frustrated she became," Tien said of the child. "Trying to find the words to calm her and support her when I knew I couldn’t help her, I have to tell you, that was extraordinarily difficult.”
Florida's abortion law went into effect on July 1. It bans abortions after 15 weeks, even in cases of rape and incest.
Gov. Ron DeSantis will not speak about what stricter limits he’d support going forward, deflecting questions by saying he is focused on defending the new law against court challenges.
But DeSantis also has said that he plans to “work to expand pro-life protections.” Advocates on both sides of the issue have interpreted that as a push for a ban after six-weeks of pregnancy – a so-called fetal heartbeat ban similar to what neighboring Georgia has enacted.
Crist, a St. Petersburg Democratic congressman who was a Florida Republican governor, has said he will pledge to sign an executive order protecting abortion rights.
Planned Parenthood's health centers in Jacksonville and Tallahassee have been inundated with people seeking abortions, going from serving 30 to 40 patients a day to 80 or more, according to a release from the organization. More of the patients are also coming from outside of Florida as restrictions in neighboring states like Georgia and Alabama also tighten.
“In addition to managing a health center, we now have to be counselors, providers of basic human needs like clothing and food, and even travel agents,” said Ina McDonald, health center manager of the Tallahassee clinic. “Finding lodging for our out-of-state patients has become a daily responsibility.”
Florida Democrats, who have hammered Gov. Ron DeSantis and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio for their opposition to abortion during this year’s midterm elections campaign, called attention to the published report of an incest victim denied the chance to get an abortion in Florida to criticize the state’s leading Republicans.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist said Florida’s abortion law “is not just cruel — it’s barbaric.”
“The lengths to which these women, some just children, had to go to exercise their freedom to choose is heartbreaking. Prohibiting a middle school-aged girl, a victim of incest, from getting an abortion is not just cruel — it’s barbaric.”
“This is what we’re fighting for this November,” he said in a statement. “We’re fighting for your sister, your daughter, your loved one. Choice, freedom, basic human decency, and women’s rights are on the line.”
“We are seeing the toll that Ron DeSantis’ extreme abortion ban is having on women and teenagers in Florida, and it is beyond disturbing,” said Florida Democratic Party spokesperson Travis Reuther in a statement. “DeSantis’ ban specifically targets victims of rape and incest, including children as we’re seeing, and forces them to either give birth against their will or travel several states away in order to make their own healthcare decisions.”
Democratic National Committee spokesperson Ammar Moussa also denounced DeSantis and Florida’s abortion law.
“This is the heartbreaking result of Ron DeSantis’s push to ban abortions with no exceptions for rape or incest,” Moussa said. “DeSantis has to explain to every Floridian not only why he signed a law that would force child rape and incest victims to give birth and threatens to throw doctors in jail, but what further bans he wants to implement.”
