Default Re: Birth control for 6th graders? No kidding?

Quote:
17-A MRSA (253)(1)(B) & (C) It is a class A felony for anyone to have sex with Anyone under 14 years of Age (B) or under 12 years of Age (C). Therefore the kids asking for birth control are asking a nurse to help them break the law. It is Aiding a felon. The school board, the school and the city are being sued and even the Democratic governor is having the Maine Supreme Court look into it and review the case.
Hmn. That is curious. I'll be interested in the result. And the later appeal. If the age of the offender doesn't matter, will that make the 13-12 year olds felons for having sex with each other? That would be rather odd.

Would that make many doctors, pharmacists and parents offenders too? I can't say that I like that idea at all.
