To take an arbitrary legal line and define it as an absolute moral one is to abandon one's own judgment and rationality. That's the same logic that says a boy who, on his 18th birthday, sleeps with his 17 year and 11 month old girlfriend, is morally and legally the same as a 50 year old man raping a 13 year old. What Arizona's law says is hardly the only definition of what is right. In Iowa, the girl couldn't even have been charged, since the age of consent there is 14. If we accepted law as defining what's morally right, then ten years ago it would have been a terribly immoral crime for gay people in Texas to have sex. You really want to stake out the word of the state legislature as the arbiter of morality?
