I don't think that there will be 15 year olds now saying to themselves "Well, it's illegal to have sex at my age so I MUST DO IT NOW!" That's just stupid.

I also don't think that people do drugs because it is illegal.

Personally I don't think kids under 16 should have sex in the first place. But will this law deter them? No. Will anyone ever be prosecuted under this law? I doubt it. Just like you hardly ever see statatory rape being prosecuted. Some states it's illegal for a 16 year old to have sex. So say she has sex with her 17 year old boyfriend. He could potentially do jail time.

Yes, laws are screwy. But why are kids (and yes, 15 year old's are kids) in such a damn hurry to grow up?

I sound so old...
