That is why we are protecting them. My point has been made. It is our responsibility as legislators to protect a girl under the age of 17 from a risk of pregnancy through a sexual violation, sexual assault, rape or incest. This is what we are dealing with. In a manner, we are dancing on the head of a pin but essentially the point has been made.
