Very good points and when one considers that Ruth Bader Ginsburg advocated fot lowering theage of consent for sex between an afdult and a minor to I think 12 years old I think you have your answer, And another questionas to why republicans didn’t oppose her based on her paper advocating her psoition.
Wow. I wasn’t aware of that either.
The way the laws are now pretty much gives the “right” of young people to have sex with each other. In many instances it just makes it so that the two “consenting teens” have to be less than 3 years apart in age. So the whole idea of teens not being able to legally consent to sex is already shot. They can have legal sex until the cows come home, as long as they have it with somebody who is within 3 years of their own age. The legal justifications for that can’t help but be blurry - leaving the way wide open for the argument that age shouldn’t matter at all.
