My criticism was of the thread title in the PSF, not the bill, though I'm ambivalent about the bill.
I generally always note that "Republican" and "Conservative" are not interchangeable in any respect. The "conservative wing of the Republican/Democratic party" is the sentence I always use to remind myself of that.
The article linked had one conservative (and family lawyer, according to other articles) up in arms about the bill while another Republican wanted the age raised. I assumed that her law-and-order stance (she wanted to fight forced prostitution and trafficking) came from a conservative outlook, though that may be a bad assumption.
I don't know. It seems that the way the title of thread was going that it was an op-ed on the front page of the PSF and I responded in turn.
