If you follow spanking in the news, you've no doubt noticed that there's been a push to make spankings illegal in several states. We're not talking about severe beatings which are clearly abusive, we talking about the entire act!

Don't get me wrong, spankings don't eliminate the need to talk to kids about whatever they did or didn't do.
