Statutory rape is defined as sexual intercourse with a person under a specified age. Sexual intercourse with a female who is below consenting age is termed statutory rape, and consent is no longer relevant. This age varies from state to state and country to country but usually ranges from 12 to 18 years. Sexual intercourse with a person who is mentally deficient or unconscious and therefore incapable of giving consent is also sometimes considered statutory rape. The term statutory rape specifically refers to the legal proscription, existing in most countries, against a man's having sexual intercourse with a child or any other person presumed to lack comprehension of the physical and other consequences of that act.
The origin of rape laws can be traced to the once-widespread belief that women were the property of men. A female was considered first the property of her father. Because her virginity was valued as her principal asset, rape was considered a theft. Once a woman was married, she belonged to her husband. Rape then was treated as a crime against the husband's exclusive sexual rights to her.
Under Kansas state law, a girl under the age of 14 who is impregnated is considered to be a victim of child abuse or statutory rape. In 2003, 78 girls under the age of 14 got abortions in Kansas.
There are two things child predators want: access to children and secrecy. The refusal of clinics performing abortions on those 78, 14 year-old girls is obstruction of justice and enabling child predators and the persons working in such clinics should be accountable.
The pregnancy of an underage girl is evidence that she may be the victim of sexual abuse and, therefore, any healthcare worker who has contact with a pregnant underage girl has an obligation to initiate a report to their state’s designated agency. The job of determining whether or not the circumstances that led to this girl’s pregnancy are criminal lies solely with child protective services or the state agency to which the report is mandated.
Clarification: A girl under a specific age is considered unable to consent to sexual intercourse and if she does she is considered a victim, but she is considered able to consent to someone killing a fetus her parents' grandchild.
If the girl is emotionally mature enough to consent to the killing of her parents’ grandchild why in the world can't she consent to the other? If she is unable to consent to a kidney transplant or an appendectomy how can she consent to an abortion? If a stranger cannot act on her behalf for the medical procedure intended to improve her health how can a stranger act on her behalf and consent to a procedure designed to kill something growing inside of her.
The 1973 Roe v. Wade decision holding that women have a right to choose to have an abortion during the first two trimesters of a pregnancy was based on the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the so-called "right of privacy" protected in earlier decisions such as the one that struck down a ban on the use, sale, and distribution of contraceptives. As a constitutional matter Roe v. Wade was absurd. Its trimester-based analysis generally prohibits regulation of abortions in the first trimester, allows regulation for protecting the health of the mother in the second trimester, and allows complete abortion bans after six months, the approximate time a fetus becomes viable.
The root of the problem is the inherent ignorance of the citizens of the United States of what the Constitution says and does not say. As long as the people remain ignorant their rights will continue to be infringed upon. The Supreme Court has broadened Roe v Wade to include all trimesters. The Supreme Court makes laws, which is unconstitutional, and should be applying the Constitution.
Wakeup America!! The earth is still turning but it appears all the sane folks got off.
