I think i have to agree with the pro-spankerson this one, on the same condition many have already said. I feel spanking can be a very productive form of discipline, *only* if it's done out of love and concern for the child's wellbeing, and not at all out of anger. That's where the fine line to abuse is crossed.
I was often spanked as a child and when I was, my parents always took time to explain that they weren't doing this because they enjoyed it or to simply hurt me, but to help teach me what is right and wrong. As I grew older I was able to understand that.
I will def. take it into consideration when i have my own kids
