In reality, there is no legitimate age of consent for intrinsic evils like pornography and abortion.

Interesting how you throw abortion in there even though it has nothing to do with the topic. Ok I guess you're one of the government-in-the-bedroom types then. End of discussion.

You're ending the discussion because you don't like what you're hearing, not because you've proposed a reasonable counter-argument.

Reductum ad absurdum. There were social standards for protecting the innocent from the predators in our society for decades without any bedroom police.

Actually, this article isn't about bedroom police anyway, it's about asking the true adults (those who have matured a little past 18) to take some responsibility for their own actions, and how their actions become a snare for the young and unprotected. The argument "Well, she was 18" is an excuse to take no responsibilty for the fact that we are complicit in her destruction. Your libertarianism has become nothing more than an excuse to use other people who are not smart enough to avoid being used.

But Libertarians always resort to the "bedroom police" argument. I guess it's because because they want to avoid their responsibility to society. It's easier.

Shalom.
