Other countries already have those laws, so I don't see where the real problem lies here. Also, I don't have the right to hit a person in the street or my husband/parents even when they are rude to me, so why should I be allowed to spank a child? It is not proven that physical discipline somehow helps child develeopment.
I don't view it as something particularly logical to legislate. It's seen as a viable (??? I haven't read that much about it, but I've also never been subjected to it) method of discipline, but if it goes too far -- it's child abuse, and that's already illegal.
