      The Republican Party is basically a sex trafficking ring for Confederate losers.

      That’s why they obsess about children’s genitals and demonize LGBTQ people for cover.

      That’s why they favor child separation policies to take little immigrant kids away from their parents.

      That’s why Trump and his fascist administration won’t release the Epstein Files.

    2. Should rename the GOP to APP.

      ***A***lways ***P***rotecting ***P***edophiles.

    3. They still care to change laws? But don’t laws only apply to other people anyway?

      I used to be scared of leaving my kid alone with a priest, now it’s a priest and a member of the GOP peds club

      would it surprise anyone at this point if there really was a child sex trafficking operation run out of the back of a restaurant, only with ‚conservative‘ politicians and financial backers.

      Jesus. Remember people clutching their pearls, deeply offended, when Howard Dean screamed at the Iowa caucus? It was off with that guy’s head. Twenty years later, we have this *progress*

      The *sole* value of conservatism is respect for and obedience to [one’s perception of] traditionally established hierarchy, and hierarchy dictates that those on top (in-groups) are rightfully idolized and receive privileges, credibility, and resources, while those on the bottom (out-groups) are demonized/dehumanized and/or bound by restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources.

      To them, the second-greatest injustice imaginable is for those [they perceive to be] on the bottom [of social hierarchy] to have access to the rights, credibility, and resources reserved for those on top. The first greatest injustice is for those on top to be bound by the restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources reserved for those on the bottom.

      It is never the act itself that upsets them, but rather, the *social standing of the person doing the act*, as said act is a privilege meant for those on top of [their perceived] hierarchy. (See also: pedophilia – Catholic church and Trump vs. LGBTQ+ and drag queens)

      To them, children are property of their social betters, and „know your place“ is their mantra.

      Since **none** of the commenters here as of this posting bothered to read the article before spouting off, here are the key points:

      * the bill allowed a clause that lets 17-year-olds receive a less serious third-degree charge of unlawful sexual activity to be extended to 18-year-olds, provided they were still in high school.
      * Prior to the bill passing, the 18-year-old could have faced a charge of child rape, a first-degree felony that would have required them to register as a sex offender, along with a prison sentence ranging anywhere from six years to life in jail.
      * the law did not apply retroactively and the 18-year-old was not charged with the new lower-level crime created by the bill
      * the legislation had been crucial to the improved plea deal

      So basically the only change to the law was that existing Romeo and Juliet provisions afforded to minors were extended to include enrolled high school students who happened to have turned 18 prior to graduation.

      I’m as anti-GOP schenanigans and anti-child rape as they come, and I fail to see how society benefits from mandating that high school seniors who just turned 18 be sentenced to lifelong sex offender registration and 6-years-to-life jail terms for having a non-coercive sexual relationships with 13-year-old high school freshmen; I think the lesser charges and sentencing is fair and just so long as we are talking about current high schoolers who are all in the 13-18-year old age range. 18-year-old high schoolers are still high school **kids**, and prior to this legislation even two completely age-appropriate high school seniors in a relationship would potentially be risking life-ruining mandatory judicial sentencing for half of the couple when one turns 18 before the other, unless they both just happened to have the exact same birthday, which is unreasonable and absurd.

      The Grand Old Pedo party protecting what is important to them… child abuse… I would really feel bad if I supported these kinda of people

      I hate journalism now. The title should say the name of Utah State Senator child fucking enthusiast.

      When did sex with a minor become illegal in the Confederacy? I just thought that was Tuesday.

      Pedophile Protection Party indeed!

      Every accusation is confession with those pedo protectors.

    16. saiyanscaris on

      so people can get away with raping children and minors now. has america really sunken THAT LOW that the ultimate taboo is no longer a crime

    17. Jesus… the victim was 13!

      It’s one thing to have laws that make 18-16 relationships a felony, and to change those. The Romeo and Juliet type laws. I get that. You have different birthdays and it’s easy to have a period where you go from 17-16 to 18-16 for a few months. I know people who were in relationships like this in HS.

      To change it to protect 18-13… that’s wild. There is no way a 13y old can ever consent and comprehend the decision in the way an 18yr old does. It’s just not possible.

    18. Yay Utah! Oh fuck. No. Wait I live here. Oh FFS this is typical for these religious assholes. Yea: to everyone else: they are THAT skeevy

      First porn stars, then felonies. Republicans are now endorsing and normalizing pedophilia.

    20. “Sex with minor” no, it is raping a child. Fucking disgusting, appalling behaviour.
