He votes on these issues. You have no problem with an elected official voting on an issue and obviously having no knowledge on the subject? I don't care whether or not he has ever known someone personally affected, I care that he has obviously made no attempt to educate himself on the issues he votes on, issues that have potentially huge consequences for those who are affected.

"Willing" is difficult to establish if below the age of consent.

He didn't say anything about knowing anyone it happened to, he said the issue has not been brought to him personally. I see we have another paid misinformant agent here folks. They are starting to add up!

It's very easy to establish. "Did you willingly have sex with this person?" "Yes your honor I did."

I can't decide if all these lies and purposeful misinformation is hilarious or infuriating to watch.

I am older and male but back in my day there was pretty much just one way to get pregnant, so I need some help. I can see getting pregnant by incest. I can see the concept.

But statutory rape is giving me one bad time..... I am sure that it must be possible as in this new age one guy seems to have no problem getting some other guy pregnant, but i don't know or even want to know how these new younger folks accomplish that.

All I want to know is how a woman can get pregnant from statutory rape?

Must be in the air.....

Not sure if you are joking or not.

You're such a funny guy.

In 2007 Iowa girls under 14 years of age had 25 abortions. Now you may wish to argue that all or the majority were for girls aged 14 and if the father was 19 and 11 months that it technically isn't statutory rape. This we do know 457 teens had abortions in Iowa in 2007 and depending on how you want to slice and dice Iowa's statute on what is and what isn't statutory rate, I wouldn't guess.

So by all means be my guest. It will be fun to watch you try to wiggle some running room considering your otherwise " Real American Strong Traditional Christian Family Values™"

(statistics from the Iowa Right to Life)

Sorry, but I'm not a big fan of pedophilia. There are very good reasons for age-of consent laws.
