Spanish Equality Minister Claims Children Can Consent to Sex: ‘These are Recognized Rights’

Spanish Minister for Equality Irene Montero has sparked outrage by claiming that children have the ability to consent to sex. She made the comment while defending the right for children to have abortions without the consent of their parents.

“Every boy, every girl, every trans child in this country has the right to know their own body, to know that no adult can touch their body if they don’t want them to, and that if they do, then that is a form of violence,” Montero said.

“They have the right to know that they can love and have sexual relations with anyone that they want, based on mutual consent. These are recognized rights,” she added.
