A Bill to Reduce the Number of Statutory Rape

In America there has been a 350% increase in the amount of cases of statutory rape. This number has been increasing exponentially since 9/11 because of the well known fact that fear leads to rape. As a result we as a nation and individual states are placed highest among the world in such cases and the overall value of our nation is diminished  Consequentially i propose a bill to lower the age of consent from 16 to 8. In america women and men are hitting puberty at a lower and lower rate and it is illogical not to match laws to meet those changes. We changed our laws to match the constantly changing safety regulations on cars by adding seat belts, the same applies to statutory rape.  Here enlies a better America, a safer america, and an America viewed as being safe.
