If we continually restrict the freedom of marriage as a legitimate social option, when we do this to people who are a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved, are we not, in fact, making abortion a much more desirable alternative, when marriage might be the right solution for some freedom-loving couples?
Are you fucking kidding me? Wow. There are no lines these idiot goppers won't cross.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt I'm sure he doesn't deserve and say he means between 2 children/teenagers marrying, however even then using "who are a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby" as an anti-abortion justification for the practice is always going to be uncomfortably gross justification.You shouldn't give a conservative the benefit of the doubt. Ever.
They really do just view girls and women as baby making machines good for little else other than maybe cooking. Like, what if that 14 year old doesn't want a kid yet because she has dreams of a career and life before starting a family? Fuck whatever she wants in life, I guess.
Last I checked fucking California couldn't even pass a law against child marriage because the majority of politicians in this country are disgustingWTF?
The ACLU argued against banning it, even
Among their concerns is that a total ban on marriage of minors could be a slippery slope and impede constitutional rights or reproductive choices, including access to abortion.I mean, it's the US and your courts are fucked so I guess I can't say for certain this is unfounded, but still.
The ACLU argued that the bill "unnecessarily and unduly intrudes on the fundamental rights of marriage without sufficient cause," adding that "largely banning marriage under 18, before we have evidence regarding the nature and severity of the problem, however, puts the cart before the horse."What is that supposed to mean?

And future worker-makers. They want to ban abortion, restrict access to porn, enable child labor, and enable child marriage and all of this, intentional or not, contributes to filling employment gaps with very low-wage workers. That's what I think a lot of this is about and it definitely impacts women more than men.
Where are the "think about the children!" GOPers at when shit like this is said by their own officials?They're too busy calling trans people rapists and pedophiles.
what if that 14 year old doesn't want a kid yet because she has dreams of a career and life before starting a family? Fuck whatever she wants in life, I guess.The minimum age is already been raised to 16 for marriage according to the article. This isn't a dispute about whether or not 13/14/15 yo should be able to get married it's for 16/17yos
The ACLU argued that the bill "unnecessarily and unduly intrudes on the fundamental rights of marriage without sufficient cause," adding that "largely banning marriage under 18, before we have evidence regarding the nature and severity of the problem, however, puts the cart before the horse."Basically they're saying they're not convinced that child marriage is an epidemic in the US and they're worried that by making laws against it, could end up being twisted in the future by anti-gay marriage politicians.

It's always weird when they act like marriage is some kind of solution to pregnancy. Even going with the only non-disgusting but still sad scenario of both parties being underage, in what world does getting married do anything positive for them?True enough hell even more so considering with the notion of rape and getting rid of ways to abort that sort of pregnancy makes it even more clear of how two face they are.
So gay marriage isnt ok between consenting adults but its ok to marry a child?
