How else are the lawmakers going to find out and enforce it? If they go around punishing all the people who get pregnant (underage), maybe they'll think twice. If they aren't going to enforce the laws they make, they may as well have not made them into law!
Personally, I think it should just be a guideline, and not a law, as I have nothing against two consenting people in having sex. But I just think they are stupid because they took a big risk and broke the law. Either that, or they are ignorant. Ignorance is not an excuse! But then again, who hasn't broken the law at some point in their life? As I said before, the authorities should just cut down on the laws they don't enforce.
Oh well, people make mistakes. Maybe I should rephrase - the kids might not be stupid, but they have done a stupid thing/made a stupid mistake.
They have random breath tests, do you think they are unfair?
