incest prohibitions pass the rational review threshold due to the state's interest in regulating inbreeding.Yes, because there is substantial risk of causing harm to any offspring, thus violating the rights of said offspring.

So what if "daddy" gets a vasectomy before consensually bedding or wedding his 18 year old daughter?
And if gay marriage is okay, then there is no inbreeding arguement against "daddy" marrying his seduced sons on their 18th birthday.
If it was about inbreeding and genetic damage, 40 year old women would be forbidden to have first children.

"Yes, because there is substantial risk of causing harm to any offspring, thus violating the rights of said offspring."
According to SCOTUS, offspring don't have rights until they have been born. The legality of abortion shows us that.
