FACT CHECK: DOCUMENT ‘NORMALIZING’ CHILD RAPE
A recent document outlining legal principles touching on sexual activity involving minors has been tied to the UN. But the pro-life Center for Family and Human Rights (C-FAM) reports that this document, while troubling, was not sponsored by the UN.
“The repeated use of the phrase ‘in fact, if not in law’ is clearly intended to argue for laws prohibiting sex with minors to be enforced more leniently—if at all—in certain instances, where the argument could be made that the minor’s ‘evolving capacities’ render him or her effectively, if not legally, able to give consent,” writes Dr. Rebecca Oas.
