18. Girls shouldn't have to have permission from their rapists

According to the National Center for Victims of Crime a large proportion of rape committed in the United States is perpetrated by a family member:

Research indicates that 46% of children who are raped are victims of family members (Langan and Harlow, 1994). The majority of American rape victims (61%) are raped before the age of 18; furthermore, 29% of all rapes occurred when the victim was less than 11 years old. 11% of rape victims are raped by their fathers or step-fathers, and another 16% are raped by other relatives.

So, a lot of those girls having sex before age 15 are likely girls who were raped, and those rapists are members of their family. They should not have to suffer for political expediency and to placate the pro-rape birthers.
