It shouldn't be just maturity to deal with the action. But the maturity to deal with the logical consequences. How many 15 year olds lives will be fine if they have a child at that age?

Not many, but how 15 year olds will care that the age of consent is 16 or 18 or 54? These kind of things fall under the families domain not the states.

That's what sex ed, contrareception and - if need be - abortion is for...
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Only if the state does not have to pick up the tab for the children's child.

I fear I have lost something in translation. Are you saying that these laws should only be enforced when 1. A child comes about and 2. Parents can't pay for said child?

No, what I'm saying is that the idea that it is okay if they are mature is rubbish. Maturity is not the only thing to consider when playing at making babies.
One should also have the financial ability to look after the consequences of pregnancy. And the state gets a larger say nowadays because of welfare issues.

So it is only the potential for babies that is the problem with it ?
If kids were using other sexual methods would it be more acceptable ?
If not where do we draw the line, you can kiss but not tongues, you can use tongues but keep all your clothes on...

So for example a 14 yr old paris hilton is fine to have a kid. But Bob the long term unemployed 40 yr old... shouldn't...
