    Alan Dershowitz Retweeted Richard W. Painter

    I stand by the constitutional (not moral) argument I offered in my controversial oped: if a 16 year old has the constitutional right to have an abortion without state or parental interference, how could she not have the constitutional right to engage in consensual sex? 1/https://twitter.com/RWPUSA/status/1155939457440219137 …

    Richard W. Painter @RWPUSA
    Why is @AlanDersh trying to lower the age of consent in this op-ed? 15? Really? https://twitter.com/guy1749/status/1155865834784526338 …

        I challenge my readers to distinguish the cases, as a matter of constitutional law. I did not suggest that it is moral to have sex with a 16 year old, but rather that the issue presents a constitutional conundrum worthy of discussion. 2/

        I also pointed out that, statutory rape laws are applied quite selectively and often against young teenagers. That’s why I also say there are Romeo and Juliet exceptions. Lets debate not name call. End/

        Is there a reason why you are trying to alter the age of consent?

        So I guess since states can charge 12 year olds "as adults," they can’t consent too? If a child has any rights, she’s fair game, huh?
