    Just hoping nobody in our community is going to earnestly take up the argument for why the age of consent should be reduced/eliminated.

    SHOULD We have a National Age of consent?

    Why or Why not?
    I think we should. I think it should be no less than 16 but
    I am of the mind that it should be 18
    I think we can also go byt the HALF YOUR AGE PLUS 7 rule
    (18 yr - 9+7=16 . . .that should be the lowest they can do)
    14 yr old can only go 14 and up. Shouldn't be doing anything
    under 18 but d*mn sure not below 14)

    An at times heated Utah Gov. Spencer Cox sparred with reporters Thursday over the fallout from reports that Utah Senate President Stuart Adams initiated passage of a law that later helped his 18-year-old granddaughter reach a plea deal in a criminal case involving sex with a 13-year-old.

    Cox said he didn’t think an ethics investigation or a third-party review is warranted, saying “there’s nothing to investigate.”
