Children

People often use the slippery slope argument to prevent some action by some group. Sometimes the threat is legitimate. Some years ago condoms became available at drug stores with no age limits and later schools began handing out condoms to students without notifying the parents. Next came abortion without parental consent. Now there are abortion pills online regardless of age. The latest is in the state of Oregon gender altering surgery is available without parental consent. For many years there were special laws protecting children from real and perceived harm but in recent years this idea has lost importance. Some things remain such as having child porn on your computer or having intimate relations with a child regardless of consent. The latest is California is trying to pass a law making pedophilia legal. It hasn't passed yet but remember the slippery slope. Is having sex with animals next?
