Planned Parenthood Perversity

The age of consent is probably one of the most
complicated sexual issues. On the one hand, teens
are physically capable of becoming parents, and
even small children are capable of orgasms. On
the other, there's the question of if teens are
emotionally ready, and they certainly aren't
ready for the stigma of pregnancy. Or the
economic realities of having children. When
you're talking about girls who recently got their
period, they're most likely not physically ready
for pregnancy either.

Of course, part of the reason they might not be
emotionally ready is cultural, and I've met
people who weren't emotionally ready in their 20s
or 30s, whereas I was ready at 14. But that still
leaves the harsh economic realities.
