Justice Ginsburg did not advocate lowering age of consent to 12
News Claim: A social media post claiming that Ruth Bader Ginsburg claimed that the age of consent for sexual acts must be lowered to 12 years of age.
The quote reads as, “PEOPLE...let’s not forget what was said in her own words, ‘The age of consent for sexual acts must be lowered to 12 years of age.’- Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 1977,”

Truth and Verification: The post referring to Ruth Bader Ginsburg supporting the lowering the consent age to 12 is not true.
Ginsburg spent much of her legal career as an advocate for gender equality and women's rights, winning many arguments before the Supreme Court.
A Google search for the above quote attributed to Ginsburg did not lead to any evidence she advocated that position.?
Verdict: False.
