The age of consent should be lowered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the USA, our age of consent is 16, 17, and 18. When the age of consent is that high, then life is ruined for those teens that wanted to be teen moms. There is a fine line however. The line should be 13. That's when most people tell thier children about the birds and the bees. Those idiots that think it should be increased are wrong. In 1937, a 5 year old gave birth to a healthy child. This was in Peru. Was she able to survive, yes she was. So is a 5 year can survive childbirth, then 13 year olds can give birth perfectly fine.

I feel that the more exclamation marks, the less seriously I take the person writing the quote.
Which is Good, because otherwise I might feel the need to hunt this man down and forcibly shut his mouth!
I don't know one last person that "wanted to be a teen mom" before they were eighteen, though several who became pregnant... and miscarried, had stillbirths, had babies that died in infancy, or had babies they gave up for adoption.
The law has always allowed teenagers below eighteen to marry with parental permission, by the way.

Any teenage girl who wants to be a teen mom just shows that she's not mature enough to make that decision. It's a lot more involved than just playing house.

I think that's part of the point of having age of consent being a minimum of 16.

This was the extreme acceptation, not the rule....and it was in 1939.

If somebody wants to be a teen mom, then (1) her life is NOT "ruined" if she doesn't get her way, and (2) TWO lives may be greatly handicapped if she DOES get her way. I'm sure you can manage to wait a few more years. Don't be so damned melodramatic about it, and please return unnecessary exclamation points to the font-master.

If this happens(ed) in Guam, I know who to start the questioning with...
No teenage girl truly wants to be a teen mom. Not a single one. Any 14 year old girl that says so completely lacks the ability to make even remotely rational decisions.
You want the age lowered because you want to fuck 13 year olds, & that's all there is to it. You're disgusting, & I hope the father of the teenage neighbor that you've been leering at all summer throws you down an abandoned mine, or drives on out & buries you in the Meadowlands. You'll be in good company; losta wiseguys are in there.
As far as your little example goes, why has no one asked why was someone raping a 5 year old? You are a sub-standard debater, & I'm afraid I have no choice but to cut you from the team. Get out & don't return.
Re the Peruvian 5-year-old: they did ask, and were trying to charge male relatives, there was insufficient evidence. It is hard to being a case where your chief witness is 5. This is not just a problem in Peru, but everywhere.
Her son was born by c-section, was healthy, and lived to 40. She is still alive (!) and married and had children as an adult.
I think it is amazing how well things turned out for her, given the nasty circumstances. But anybody who brings that case up in any argument about the age of consent sounds like a total creep.
Yet, Holland has amongst the lowest rates of teen pregnancy in the world: 6/1000.
So when younger girls in that country - and at their age - possess infinitely more Self Control than men twice, or three times their age, then that says so much about how little regard we should have for the biological processes in said so-called 'men's minds; they having less about the biological processes of the bodies of females .
Makes me glad we in the UK have the attitude we have towards the inferior subhumans that are Paedophiles. Just ask the likes of Gary Glitter, if you're so 'uncertain', OP.
There is more to giving birth than simply surviving it. Not that I expect you to know since, well, you obviously haven't been around anyone who has given birth recently and you have no idea what it is like.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
