The statute that was struck down had nothing to do with sex with children.

If you want to argue that this is one more step down the slippery slope, fine, but we aren't there yet.

It had EVERYTHING to do with eliminating the purview of the several States in legislation.

It can now be argued that Wisconsin's prohibition of sex with juveniles is un-con because it was done privately, and with consent.

Please demonstrate otherwise.

Not all states set age of consent at age 18.

Why can't an adult have consenting sex with their own child (if at the age of consent) in the privacy of their own home?

Additionally, some states set the age of consent for homosexual acts at 18 while having and age of consent for heterosexual acts younger (some as low as 14). Do you think that this will norm those age of consent laws to 18 for all or lower the bar for homosexual encounter to as low as 14 for all?
