Which would you rather be: the CFO of a company or the VP of human resources?The House acts first on all tax and spending bills, the Senate has advice and consent for treaties, judges, and for most top cabinet positions. To get something done in the House, you need a bare majority of 218 out of 435 to move forward. In the Senate, you need “unanimous consent” for nearly everything (e.g. consent for Committees to conduct business while the Senate is in session) of all 100 Senators. Yeah, it's that trivial and slow.Let me tell you a story.I took a course in law school called “Contemporary Issues in Constitutional Law”.The professor would have us come in for three hours every Saturday (he had a time consuming job during the week) to basically discuss the constitutional issues surrounding various political/governmental events that had occurred in the latter half of the 20th century or were unfolding (it was the Fall of 2002).There was no final exam, but we were required to submit a paper on a contemporary problem with constitutional issues. Thirty-two typewriten pages, footnoted, and with a complete bibliography attached. And you needed some case law to back up your paper.“If you want an A in this course and you pick a simple topic, it better read like a PhD thesis. I mean it better be perfect. But if you choose a hard or seemingly impossible subject and do a good job and make a good argument, I'll be impressed and ignore the fact that you don't have a PhD.” he said a few weeks into the class.In my law school, you received a Certificate of Achievement if you earned the highest grade in the class.I wrote my paper on “How the House of Representatives can affect the treaty making process.” I won't bore you with the details but the US House can severely limit the effectiveness/implementation of a treaty (both self-executing and otherwise) with its power of the purse.I got the only A.My professor got a promotion of sorts in 2008 and stopped teaching at my law school (he had been teaching there as an adjunct for more than 25 years!)His name: Joe Biden.

Several real problems with the argument that consent to sex is consent to pregnancy.These people obviously don’t know what consent even means. Consent by definition must be (a) explicit (meaning for the actual act occurring), (b) be positive (yes means yes, not a lack of a no means yes), and (c) ongoing (consent can be revoked).Ask them if consent to sex with a man today with penis-in-vagina sex means I’ve consented to anal sex. Ask them if a man asking me for sex and me not telling him no means I’ve told him yes. Ask them if consent to a man for sex today means I’ve automatically given him consent for sex tomorrow. Obviously to any sane person the answer to all these is “no”. Thus consent to sex cannot be consent to pregnancy, since the woman consenting to sex is not consenting to anything but giving that man permission to put his penis in her vagina today; she is not giving a third party that doesn’t even EXIST at the time of consent permission to use her entire body for a completely separate act from sex, for forty weeks, at great physical risk to herself.Honestly, that’s like saying that if I give consent to give a man a ride to work today in my car, that’s the same as consenting to give his kid a ride to school every day for a year, while the kid trashes the upholstery and scratches the paint. For that matter, since there are risks to almost everything we do, by this person’s logic smoking a cigarette is consent to lung cancer and the person cannot remove their tumor. Eating junk food would be consent to diabetes and the person shouldn’t be able to get insulin. This is the logical extension of their ridiculous assertion.Second, point out the fact that 80% of women who abort in the US were using contraception or condoms at the time of conception. Quite obviously if someone is deliberately taking steps to prevent conception, they have no agreed to pregnancy. They have in fact explicitly said “no” to pregnancy.Third, consent as I stated can be withdrawn. Even if someone is ridiculous enough to claim consent to sex is consent to pregnancy, the woman’s body is not surrendered at the moment of conception. She can say no at any time. This is just LIKE sex actually- if a woman consents to sex with a man and then becomes uncomfortable, she can tell him to stop. Consent is revoked- if he doesn’t stop, he’s guilty of rape.Fourth, you can point out that a landmark SCOTUS case after Roe v. Wade stated explicitly that no person may use another person’s body without express ongoing consent, even if that first person would die without its use. In McFall v. Shimp, 1978, SCOTUS determined that a man could not be forced to donate a kidney even if the other party died without that donation. This was not a narrow ruling, but a wide one: not only can no one be forced to donate organs, but no tissues can be taken from a corpse without express prior permission and no parent can be forced to donate blood or tissue to their own dying child even though they were the ones that deliberately created that child. If a parent cannot even be forced to donate their body to a living, breathing, conscious, sentient child that they created even if that child will die without it, why do they believe pregnant women and pregnant women only do not possess the rights to their own bodies that even corpses possess?

If teenagers are thinking about having sex, they probably will. When I interact with the younger generation, I realise that it's very common for school and college kids to be sexually active. I am from India and it’s something new for us to see this. I come from a generation that waited until after the wedding. But things are different now.So, if I were you, I would advise her on all the repercussions of sexual activity. No moral lessons, no religion, nothing of that sort. Just factual information.Next and most importantly, I would talk to her about contraception and avoiding STDs. Rinse, repeat until I am convinced she will not try unprotected sex.
