[quote=Anonymous]But you are.  You are the one confusing the issues.

If a child of any age who is sexually active is legally allowed to get birth control for example, without parent knowledge or permission, then we as a society are saying that same child is old enough to give consent.  The two go hand in hand.

A child cannot take aspirin at school for cramps without written permission from the parents, but in many states that same girl can be given birth control or referred for an abortion or referred for treatment of an STD by that same school nurse, without parent knowledge or permission.

Why?  The argument is that the child's sexuality is her business only, not the parents.  They only need this birth control or abortion or treatment of the STD because they are sexually active, yet they can't give consent.

It is twisted that we are sexualizing our children too early and opening them up for predators (not to mention a whole host of self destructive behaviors), all without the knowledge of those who want to protect them.

If they cannot give consent, then they should not be allowed these services without parent knowledge and written permission.  If they can legally access these things on their own, which are only needed if the child is sexually active, while still a child below the age of consent, then something is wrong with our laws.

The age of consent should be the age of the cut off for parent permission.  NOT younger than the age of consent.  Why are we not protecting our children.

>>>>>>>>>>>

Even if a child seeks out and obtains birth control or an abortion, if/when the person they are having sex with is found out, that person is still liable for statutory rape.  As they should be.

If a child gives birth, and now we know that she's been having sex, when we find out who the (overage) father is, he can and should and usually does face statutory rape charges.
