Another angle about these AoC laws and their being too high is the discrimination aspect. If a sixteen year old can get a driver's license then the law is recognizing that being sufficient age to do that. But if the state's AoC is higher than 16 then it's in effect discriminating based on age. And that's against Federal laws (though admittedly more about the opposite end of the age spectrum.) So unless the state can prove how 16's ok to drive and make life and death mature decisions doing that, but not capable of making similar decisions to have sex, the law should be ammended down to 16.
Until the laws are changed, it's a crime....PERIOD. No matter what you think, Delta.

At least I don't have the mindset that if it didn't hurt, it's good.....Lone Goofball.
