What's next probably? Lowering the age of consent?

[Nevilledog]

Lots of states without total abortion bans have a rape exception. How long until Republicans move to lower the age of consent so they can argue the sex was consensual and therefore no rape?

2. Langford of Oklahoma says 13 yr olds can consent

snip-"Before Lankford became a leading voice for conservative causes on Capitol Hill, he spent more than a decade as the director of youth programming at the Falls Creek Baptist Conference Center, a sprawling campground about 80 miles south of Oklahoma City that attracts more than 50,000 campers in grades six through 12 each year."

snip-"But in a 2010 deposition in the case, given a week after he was elected to his first term in the U.S. House, Lankford testified that he believed a 13-year-old could consent to sex.

“Yes, I think they can,” Lankford told Kenyatta Bethea, a lawyer for the girl’s family, according a 155-page transcript of the deposition obtained by The Associated Press."

The age of consent in Oklahoma is 16, and although there is an exception in the law for minors between the ages of 14 and 17 who have sexual contact, there is no provision under which a 13-year-old could consent to sex. When Bethea pressed if his answer was still the same “if I ask you that question in terms of your position as a father,” Lankford maintained his stance."

3. The age of consent should be lowered to 16 in all states.

18 and even 17 is not a realistic age and just allows forms of legal blackmail when two teenagers have sex.

4. The GOP Taliban could do away with the concept of female consent altogether.

Some religions made it a sin to turn down their husband's sexual demands.
This was the case when I was growing up.

They could extend the concept to all women.

5. Didn't TN recently try to pass a law that lowered (maintained?) a low agent of consent?

Or as it a low legalizing child marriage? And they have the nerve to refer to gay teachers as groomers.
