may not agree with it, but your narrow viewpoint does not dictate the
morals for everyone. (and before you ask, I have found the need to
spank my children.)

To Some/Many It Is Morally Reprehensible
To Spank A Child [.]
= It Is Their Opinion/Belief based on their
Strong Personal Convictions

To Many/Most IT IS Morally Reprehensible and
Criminal To Spank A Child -condition- When You
Are Angry, Enraged and Out of Control of Your
Reasoning and Strength or use a Foreign Object [.]
= It Is Their Opinion/Belief based on their Strong
Personal Convictions : Plus a General Societal
Value that is Prescribed by Law {A Crime}.

- - and it is far from it.

NO : If Done Right It Can Have Value In Establishing
and Reinforcing Societal Core Values. -how-ever-
If Done Wrong It Needs To Be Controlled, Prohibited,
and Punished.

I have always thought that to get a Marriage License
the 'Couple' should be required to take a "Parenting"
Class which would include Parental Rights and Duties
including the Limited Use of Age Appropriate Corporal
Punishment and the Right Way To Do It to Teach the
Child the Consequences of Doing Right and Wrong.
