Reply To: Women’s Suffrage Must End

Phil, does extending voting rights to Muslims (or taking those rights away), in a non-Jewish country, require a psak? How about giving voting rights to 16 and 17 year olds or taking voting rights away from 18 to 20 year olds?

Does anyone taking such a position, even if they’re not in a position to change the law, require a psak?

What about taking a position that 16 year olds should be able to get a full driver’s license. Or that driver’s licenses should require being at least 21 years old.

Must one get a psak before daring to believe in such a position or before expressing that position to other people?

How about advocating a change in the minimum age required to run for public office?
