Victoria Taft goes off here. Mayes has since whipped out a piece of Lars’ letterhead and clarified his remarks. It was an unfortunate choice of words on his part and one I believe he regrets. Of course that won’t stop Lars, Victoria, and the national mouth breathers from going on about the case and the quote. These folks are gleefully going after the illegal immigrants but in their silence give a pass to a guy Steve Duin mentioned in his August 9th column who bragged about also having sex with Dani Countryman that weekend. Why the double standard? I think we know the answer.
There’s a case happening down in Southern Oregon right now that, while nowhere near as horrifying as rape and murder, is still relevent to the question of consent as it relates to minors. A father recently converted to Judaism and wishes to circumcise his son in accordance with his beliefs. The problem is the boy’s mother says the boy doesn’t want to undergo the procedure and is too scared to tell his dad. Did I mention the boy is 12? Should a 12-year-old boy be able to stand up to his parents and say no to a purely elective procedure even if it violates his parent’s new religious beliefs? We seem to believe females in Africa should be able to say no to a similar procedure. Can’t an American boy do the same? Or is a minor child unable to consent to or decline anything on their own? What about a 12-year-old child member of Oregon City’s Followers of Christ Church, badly in need of medical attention, who turns to a teacher for help? Should the teacher help the kid get medical attention despite the Followers’ strict teachings against medical treatment? Or should they simply return the child to his or her parents without lifting a finger?
We know where they stand on rape. Perhaps Lars and Victoria could draw up a chart and let us know where some other lines are.
