Where does she say that? I think you might be confusing her with someone else that was discussed on here recently.
Clinton started her career working for the Children's Defense Fund. In her legal scholarship she was one of the earliest and most important voices on children's rights.

Since the age of consent in the United States which varies from state to state is from 16 to 18, lowering the age of consent to 12 would legalize pedophilia of children age 12 and above.That is exactly what Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a Clinton appointee and daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants, recommends in a co-authored book that led to sweeping changes made by the federal government in the name of sex equality.It was Bill Clinton that appointed RBG, so we know how he stands and Hillary is of the same cloth since she had no problem defending a man accused of raping a 15 yr. old girl, knowing he was guilty. From the Daily Caller. Clinton spoke in clinical, legal terms while explaining her defense of the rapist, who Clinton helped to avoid a lengthy prison term by relying on a technicality relating to the chain of evidence of his blood-soaked underwear, as well as arguing at the time that the 12-year-old victim may have exaggerated or encouraged the attack.Also, Hillary stepped in to stand up for Laura Silsby as she tried to kidnap young children and sneak them out of Haiti. Silsby was convicted. Evidently Hillary has no respect for the age of consent when it comes to children. The Silsby case has been documented many times on this site.
This is a nonsense bomb. I know the case you are talking about with Ruth Bader Ginsburg and she was not concerned at all with the age of consent in that law article. She was arguing that all laws ought to use gender neutral languages. She cited the example of a pending bill. A bill she did not write. A bills she didn't argue for one way or the author. They way the bill was written, you could argue it was only illegal to rape girls. Boys were not covered because they didn't use gender neutral language.
The part of this bill that talked about 12 years old was what is known as a Romeo and Juliet law. We want to make it illegal for adults to have sex with children, but do we really want to criminalize 15 year olds having sex? This bill proposed that statutory rape laws would not apply to teenagers unless they had sex with some who was 12 or younger.
Whatever the merits of that is, it's not Ruth Bader Ginsberg's bill.
Why do you point out that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the child of immigrants? The president of the United States is the child of an immigrant. What's your point?
Everything you say about that Hillary Clinton case is wrong including the fact you put two different ages down on her. The guy plead guilty and faced up to 5 years. It was a very weak case. I just did a post on this case. His underwear was not blood soaked at least not by time she asked for the evidence to do an independent test on them. They had cut out and lost the part with the blood. No test could run because there was no blood. They screwed up and lost the only physical evidence they had connecting him to the crime and what was a weak case, got weaker. This is why the prosecutor agreed to plea. She also did have a problem defending him, but she was appointed by the court and when she asked to get off the case, she was turned down.

Which Clinton? I think they probably both are. She thinks the age of consent should be lowered.

"They had cut out and lost the part with the blood. No test could run because there was no blood."
Which proves there are no problems here, move along.
