Default Which U.S. law is most controversial?

There are a lot of laws in the U.S. that people don't agree with, and people have good reason to not agree and to agree with them. Such laws that have huge controversy are:
1. Minimum drinking age is 21, almost everywhere else in the world it's 18 or under
2. 18 years old is the age you legally can have sex, in some states it's 16 and even 14 under certain conditions.
3. The Death Penalty still exists, why do some states have it and others don't? Shouldn't there be a universal resolution?
4. Abortion, should it be legal or illegal everywhere?

Vote and comment on what you feel is the most controversial issue/law

Well, I can see this conversation heading in the wrong direction already... but I vote for Abortion MAINLY BECAUSE it's a case-by-case thing. No, don't kill your baby if you're a reckless teenager, but you should have the choice if you're raped by your father, etc.

None of those other laws really apply to me. I love sitting on my 19 year old bum and drinking me some alcohol.
And sex, pfft. Who's going to know?

Yeah, this thread can go really wrong, really fast if people don't mind their manners (which we all know they won't).

This thread will awaken the trolls on the forums. It starts out smooth, but will turn out to be a big argument going in circles. Just look at what happened yesterday with the equation thread...

Well the sex one is age of consent. You can have sex at a younger age, just not with someone who is over 18. Abortion is the most controversial though

The equation thread didn't have trolls on it.

Just want to clarify here so people don't target others: "controversial" would be what stirs the most controversy. Not the one that should be opposed.

Everyone posting here, you're on very thin ice. If this goes anywhere bad, it'll be locked up in a second.

The sex law. Why would states make it to where legal age to have sex is 18? In South Carolina its 14.
