"I went to my congressman and he said quote 'I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote' "
So when the twelve year old turns 18, he or she can then vote to change the law.

By definition, someone of the age of 12 is not legally capable of consent.

Ok the 12 year old will say he/she is not a victim, that he/she consented
and will fight to have the laws changed because they want to have sex.

Same sex marriage is a completely different discussion than "sex with
kids"
or "sex with animals". Sex with kids and animals has a VICTIM. Same sex
marriages is between two consenting adults. Telling two consenting
adults
that they cannot marry seems pretty presumptuous to me. Its a matter of
restricting someone elses rights based on some religious notion. Thats
unfair. Telling 30 year olds they can't victimize 12 year olds is not
comparable.
Depending on your viewpoint of what a fetus is, abortion could fall into
either category. In my opinion, abortion is a victimless event.
Obviously,
some people feel the fetus is a victim.

Well for those of us who don't believe in abortion, to us it's not right
for
one person or a group of people to change things for the majority. At
least
that is how I feel.
What scares me about that is, right now, statutory rape is a crime that
says
a 30 year old man can't have sex with a 15 year old girl.
Well what would we think if teenagers start saying, "Hey wait, I should
be
able to sleep with whoever I want to. I want to have a 35 year old
boy/girl
friend."
And the opponents will say, "well you're not legal, you have no rights"
And they start rallying to change the stat. rape laws and change the
laws
that says when a person is legal or not.
Or someone says, "And I want to have sex with animals if I want to" and
they
start rallying to change the laws.
and so on.....
That is what bothers me, because you don't believe in something, you
change
it for the majority.
For example, here is the defination of marriage: The legal union of a
man
and woman as husband and wife. Why is a group of people allowed to
change
that definition?
Can a another group change the laws regarding murder, if they decide
they
want to stone people in their community who commit crimes.
Where do you stop?
how do you please everyone?

John,
I have some difficulty following your logic here. You're saying that if
I
say I support a woman's right to choose, it imposes a moral viewpoint on
an
anti abortion supporter. How so, I'm not forcing her to have an
abortion.
I
am expressing my viewpoint only, not strapping her to a table and
performing a D & C. In contrast the efforts of anti abortion supporters
DO
impose their moral viewpoint on those with whom they disagree. There is
a
difference here.
One way of looking at it is one group wants simply to be left alone as
they
go through a difficult time while the anti-abortion group wants and does
interfere with others.
