This is an organization concocted by the Devil himself, and those who support it do his bidding.

You may have heard about the outcry over a sexually explicit booklet distributed to girls by International Planned Parenthood in collusion with the Girl Scouts. This happened several years ago. "Sexuality education" had been outright obscene for a long time and has always been about the alleged rights of minor to have sex.<br /><br />The elephant in the room, of course, is how this relates to pedophilia. What if a 9-year-old girl allegedly consents to and desires sex with an adult male? On what basis do those who have been celebrating her sexual freedom lock the man up if he has sex with her?<br /><br />The standard answer is that leftists oppose "differences of power" between those involved in sexual acts. Hence, we're supposed to believe that all this sexual experience they are urging young people to have is only with other young people so close in age that there is no such "difference of power" between them. Interestingly, this nonetheless involves ignoring the statutory rape laws of many states, not all of which have a "Romeo and Juliet" exception, as it's called.<br /><br />To put it mildly, liberal belief in avoiding "differences of power" is an extremely thin reed on which to lean when it comes to the outright endorsement of sex between adults and children, especially when one adds in the continual talk of "evolving capacities of each young person." After all, there is often a difference of power between a 19-year-old and a 40-year-old as well, yet it is possible for a 19-year-old legally to marry a 40-year-old. The persistent and deliberate avoidance of the concept of an age of consent will, I predict, in the end break down liberal resistance to sex between adults and children.Lydia McGrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423567323116960820noreply@blogger.com
