It might. But that will be ignoring the child part of the equation. I don't give a rats ass how fucked up a pedophile is so long as they keep it to themselves. However, the second a child is involved, a child that fundamentally can't make an informed decision about sex and its consequences, then the pedophile is going to run into a brick wall....at great speed.
Well we've already determined that "child" can be defined all sorts of ways... for instance, a child is apparently NOT a child when it's in the womb. A century ago, a child who was 12 was legally old enough to marry and often did. We have liberals handing out condoms to "children" every day and discussing sexuality with them in schools. My grandmother had her first baby at age 13. So what is a "child" is subjective and open to interpretation.
I wonder.... how many children age 12 are left home alone while their parents work? Or even more relevant, left to take care of a younger sibling while their parents work? If they are suitable for such responsibilities, how can one argue they are not able to make informed decisions? I wonder, how many 12 year olds don't understand where babies come from? Seems that maybe that would be explained to them as their counselor is handing them a condom, don't you imagine?
I hear what you are saying but the same thing could've applied to homosexuals not so long ago... I don't care what they do behind closed doors, just as long as they keep it to themselves.... how well did that argument work out? And yeah... I understand "consenting adults" but all that needs to change there is the definition of "adult".
Most importantly... YOU aren't going to get a vote on this... that's been removed from your ability to decide by the courts already. THEY will decide for you and you'll live with their decision because that's how everyone wanted things to be, so now, that's how things are. All they really need is some advocate to bring a case and challenge religious constraints on their rights...and voila... you have legal pedophilia and child marriages. It's a Brave New World!
