GOP official argues in favor of child marriage: Girls are ‘ripe’ and ‘fertile’ - nj.com
What kind of person is pro child marriage? This is awful and shouldn't even be argued.

The New Hampshire House passed a bill to ban child marriage in the state and raise the minimum age of marriage to 18.


The measure passed the Senate unanimously in March. On Thursday, it passed the House, 192-174. The bill now goes to Gov. Chris Sununu for signing into law.



One of those voting against was Representative Jess Edwards, whose comments sparked immediate gasps from colleagues.

 

probably a religious thing, that like stoning should be banished and condemned

I swear, some of those nutty conservatives want to take us back to the 19th century: Child marriage, child labor, abortion bans.... I am sure they are salivating over 60 hour work weeks, with no labor protections and zero health insurance as well. Imagine how much more money the "job creators" could make...

BTW: Welcome to the forum.

 

Sounds a lot like grooming to me

 

Sounds like the Leftists just want to control the people.

The stupidity of the law, is that it prohibits a pregnant 16, or 17 year old from getting married vice having her baby out of wedlock.

Funny, considering this has been done by the party that wants to normalize pedophilia.

I can see this getting challenged on 1st Amendment grounds.

 

Sure sounds to me that it's the right who actually is in favor of pedophilia with their "girls are ripe and fertile" comments and wanting to marry children.

 

WTF are you talking about?

This is nonsensical gibberish.

 

I don’t have a problem with marriage being 18 and older: young people are stupid and thanks to Democrat education, they’re dumber than ever.

I do have a problem with logical inconsistency of these kids being old enough to have consensual sex and voluntarily lop off body parts to appease their mental problems, but when it comes to marriage “omg they just kids! The horror!”

18 and older for consensual sex. 18 and older for marriage. 18 and older for voluntary surgeries to chop off their dicks and breasts.

It’s not that hard

 

Ah, you fell for the "party that wants to normalize pedophilia" lie. Sad. The only people I've seen defending pedophilia have been on the right.

 

Again, more nonsensical gibberish.

Are we gonna arrests kids under 18 who have sex? Really? Or is the difference between sex and marriage too confusing to conservatives?

 

It isn't a lie. It's a fact.

 

Of course you don't understand. What else is new...lol

 

And your false claim that this is so is just as adorable as your inability to back your claims up with evidence.

Your denial is what's so adorable. Funny how that's the only thing in my post you decided to challenge...lol

 

Should teenage sex be outlawed?

 

Mike Moon, GOP Missouri Lawmaker, Defends Child's Right to Get Married (businessinsider.com)

 

The GOP are the ones defending it. Not a surprise, and not the first time either. One of their favorite musicians wrote a song about raping a 13 year old and he remains their darling.

 

You're the one defending this. Of course, it's well established that for many hillbilly conservatives, the ability to marry their 14 yo cousins would be the only shot at marriage.

 

Should a 16 year old girl be able to get an abortion?

 

I'm not defending anything. I'm pointing out the stupidity and the unconstitutionality of the law.

 

Are there forced birthers on here?

 

That's up to the individual state. Certainly in cases where her life or health is in danger.

 

Should a grown man be allowed to marry a child who is under the age of 18?
For example are you okay with a 50 year old man marrying a 12 year old girl?

 

most sane people oppose that-just as they oppose a kid that age being able to "change" their gender through surgery
