What are you opinions on statuatory rape? Do you think it's a fair law? You are considered a rapist if you are 18 or older, and you have sex with someone under 18. Even if it's your girlfriend or boyfriend, and it was consensual.

Statutory rape laws are wrong. Here is why:
Coercion is inherently wrong. Thus, the purpose of law ought to be to prevent coercion. Law prevents coercion through counter-coercion (the police). But when "law" (or, more appropriately anti-law) is used to coerce non-coercive behavior (such as consensual sex), then the law itself BECOMES the soruce of the coercion, and therefore is unjust. |
