There has been a really good study done that contradicted Stephens arguments. The study made it clear that Stephens arguments are accurate if the child is abused. Light spanking had no notable effect on a child.

I posted the study a number of times to him he totally ignores it. He was abused by his mother when he was a kid now for him all spanking is abuse.

Yeah, I've noticed a bit of correlation between anti-spanking and dissatisfaction with the way someone was raised. They can't conceive of it as anything else but furthering abuse...whereas most of us from a loving home understand it was not abuse but *correction of a specific behavior*.
