This is not sporting it is cruel.

As to the statuatory rape issue, humans have a special ability to develop their minds. Ape and pig offspring are able to surivive very quickly. Fish have thousands of eggs, many die and those who survive are self-sufficient quite quickly. Human offspring are not able to survive on their own until they are an amazing 16 or seventeen years along. Why?

Our time to independence is so long because our brains develop for a long time. We have language and math and history and lots to learn. We have a huge cultural inheritance, the collected learning of mankind, to pass along. For this reason it is cruel to impregnate a girl who has not had an education to at least 17 years of age. That is probably the earliest age at which people who are smart will be able to comprehend the history, artistic legacy, scientific and cultural treasures of the West.

Sorry to be cruel, but when we impregnate girls at 12 we are devolving to the state of animals. Thought is our special biological gift. It is the product of an incredible amount of evolution. If you are religious, the spirit and soul are higher than the flesh. We are not pigs, we are humans, in either case, is the message. Sin against God, or sin against our evolutionary struggle makes having sex with underage girls wrong, wrong, wrong.
