Laws against statutory rape (when it is non-violent and consensual). Is that not ‘legislating morality?’ Should those laws be removed? Are those of us who believe in them mindless ‘moralists’ who want a “nanny state”.

In the case of statutory rape the victim is a minor, and unable to give consent. Stop being so silly.

I asked you a while back to quote a law, ANY LAW, absent somebody's morality at it's base.

Nothing but crickets since.

It might involve an 18 year old boy and a 17 year old girl, which is by any definition, 'legislating morality' and not likely involving violence.

Get up to speed on American law before you pretend to know what you're talking about................silly.
