No matter how they classify it mentally, pedophilia will always be a mala in se crime.
You don’t have to convince a jury that pedophilia is acceptable, you have to convince them that hanging BEFORE a pronouncement of guilt is bad form.
Dont be too sure about that.
NAMBLA for years has been trying to push for Consent exemption in the law.
After declassifying pedophilia as a mental disorder they will begin the whole normalizing pedophilia as an alternative life style. Next will be pushing to have the age of consent for lowered.
One of the reasons to push religion in to the background of peoples minds and to make Christianity socially unacceptable is to make the concept of sin (especially sexual sin) seem small minded.
If sin is passé then it is only a small step to make it legal.
