I personally believe the age of consent should be 15.

I believe that someone aged 15 is mature enough to decide if they want to have sex or not

It should be 14-16. Anything lower or higher is absurd.

It shouldn't be illegal to have sex under age 18. But, there needs to be a reasonable limit (17-19 for example should be okay but not 15-19).

Age of consent should be 150. You can never have "Consensual" sex.

I hope to God (no pun intended) that that meme is meant to be ironic.

Please don't use the lords name in vain.

Jesus also strongly disapproves of your signature, especially your latest addition.

Depends.

Are we talking about the age of consent to sex or the age of consent to parental responsibility?

I see Roy Moore hasn't voted yet, or maybe he accidentally clicked "15" rather than "14" or "none of the above (lower)."

Should the everything-else age also be raised to 21?

I think 16, but we really need to seriously modernize our laws these issues. Two 14-year-olds sexting each other shouldn't warrant sex offender status. Those laws have gone too far. Sex offender status should be reserved for true sexual predators.

IDK, and I question the merits of a single number being the be-all end-all.

There shouldn't be a single age of consent, but a moving one based on age difference (for example, a 17-year-old with a 19-year-old is far less objectionable than an 18-year-old with a 40-year-old).

Sex should be illegal except to have children with a married, Christian partner.
I'm kidding, of course.

Depends.

Are we talking about the age of consent to sex or the age of consent to parental responsibility?

To clarify:

I think 18 years old should be the age of consent to sex.

I think 22 years old should be the age of consent to parental responsibility.

I voted 21+.

So what happens when a 19-year-old gets pregnant? You want to forcibly take away their children?

As I am sixteen, let me assure you that the last thing people my age need is more rights.
