Justice committee  One of the great difficulties of legislating in the area of sexual age of consent is that the law itself is not very well understood. Mr. Quist from the family institute raised the percentage that 90% of people are in support of this bill. I think that may well be because the e

Justice committee  I'd have to say that the example is a telling one, because it's not obvious that there is anything like an epidemic or open season on relationships between 14-year-olds and 40-year-olds. People like to trot out that example as something unseemly because, I think many of us would
