She can have fun, with someone her age. I would not call statutory rape "fun".

Boys of 15 have too little experience and practice. As to the fun? It has nothing to do with the statute. It is more physiological. The legalism is, what we chose to make it.

Many posters on this forum believe girls under the age of 18 do no have the right to consent to sex. They are too "young" to be able to make such a decision.

NOT EVERYONE AGREES WITH THAT. It is a societal attitude --in many cultures before cities existed (tribal cultures, that is), adulthood and associated rights/responsibilities began with puberty (about age 14). Historically, it happened that in cities the qualify of available food was less than in the country, and as a result physical maturation was often delayed for two or three years --and that's the origin of various cultures setting the age of consent to 16 or 17 or older.

Does anyone find that hypocritical when these posters want to give these girls the right to have an abortion?

NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST. As will be explained below.

STUPIDLY FALSE. See above about the whole modern culture embracing the thing you call "logic"

I BET SOME DO (and some don't). As with anything else, there exists a wide range of mental capabilities out there.

HERE IS WHERE YOU ARE BLATHERING THE UTTERLY NONSENSICAL NOTION THAT JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS HUMAN AND ALIVE, IT AUTOMATICALLY DESERVES TO STAY ALIVE. As I've pointed out elsewhere, abortion opponents routinely exhibit failure to understand what "human life" truly is. Any girl getting a manicure or pedicure is ending human life!

THEREFORE, BECAUSE YOUR POST IS ALL ABOUT A HUGELY WRONG ASSUMPTION, that's why there isn't the slightest hint of hypocrisy associated with 15-year-old girls getting abortions.

You're promoting child-rape.

A child being raped by an adult is not "fun".

The hypocrisy is there. Any other time the Left would be courting pedophiles as a voting block.

Are there enough pedophiles to make the courting pay?
 
I was just triggered by the ridiculous font size. Nothing says rational than super huge font + bold + CAPS + exclamation marks.

Rape is always legally bad news. But it can be very different things. In Sweden something may be rape that in NYC is a pleasurable past time. Arguing statutes is fine in court. Morally it is intellectual folly.

Of course rape isn't fun but, that's not what his getting at. The topic here is age of consent for sex vs consent to be able to abort. [guessing without parents involved]

You don't understand how it's rape when an adult takes advantage of a child? Pathetic.

Then Pelosi better get onto it. Or maybe ms Obama could earn her Democrat spurs on it.

Apples and oranges. One can only seek to equate the two through ulterior motive.

I know the law. It's similar to how homosexual men used to be treated. I also understand the logic of the Swedish law. But believing the law makes morals is silly.

That is some seriously twisted "reason". You have clearly begun with your conclusion "adults raping children is fine" and then went about gathering stuff that you think supports that.

I never said adults raping children is fine.

I did say killing children is not fine.
