I have no problem with either or both being prosecuted
In all but about 8 states it is under the age of 18....and most are 16 and some lower. And what is prosecuting a scared girl going to achieve exactly i might add?

Really and the tax payers will also be forced to pay for her to help raise that child too won't they, or her parents will have to help foot the bill? Seems to me your argument is a bit faulty in that end since in the end the cost is much more And no it is not your or my right because it is her body not yours....you have no say if she keeps the child or gives it up for adoption, so why should you have a say if she wants abortion?
Why should society be burdened with her irresponsibility and poor decision making? Let her suffer. When people realize what they're in for they'll be more careful. As for the "think of the children" crowd, are the kids being raised by these kinds of single mothers really going to turn out much better off with nanny state's help? The research says not really.
It's similar to the same thing no-fault divorce has led to the destruction of marriage as an institution. People figure "oh, well if things don't work out we'll just get divorced and go out separate ways". Take away that flippant attitude and people will be much more serious about the decisions they make. Bring back personal responsiblity!

So you're idea is make her have the child she can't raise that you will have to help pay for? Or are you saying they should get no help and just everyone suffers? clarify on that point please. No fault divorce has only allowed women and men the eaze of getting out of unhappy marriages before. People now an option to leave without making the court believe it is justified. that along with more women working....was bound to happen.
What exactly is your point in bringing this up? For that matter why do you think statutory "rape" should even be a crime?
I have always pondered that to be honest.
