- And as we keep telling you, being pro-choice doesn't mean we want (P), it
- means we (some of us) want A. It says nothing about P or S. If the

- happy about (A) but not necessarily about other implications of (P).

- OK. An 18 y.o. and a 15 y.o. engaged in sex 3 years ago. Now they're
- both of age and want to get married, but you'd rather throw him in jail.
