    The huge irony, of course, is that those on the progressive Left are more in favor of that child going around having casual sex before they are married.

    But marriage? No, that is unspeakable and unimaginable.

    Those same states that decided children in third grade should be taught how to put on condoms and have anal sex happen to also be the same states that have bumped up the minimum marriage age to 18.

    An interesting paradoxical correlation there.

    You mentioned pedophilia.
    In a thread not about pedophilia.

    But, you don't know what pedophilia is. If you don't know what it is, you don't understand it. It was your comment.
    That's why you don't explain your position on pedophilia. Except, you thinks it's ok for an 18 yr old adult to marry a 17 yr old child.
    Proving you don't know what pedophilia is. And why you can't explain what you think it is.

    Why did you fail to explain what you are referring to?
    Is it because you favor marriage between adults and children?

    Yet.
    You posted in this thread about minors marrying.

    This is not a thread about trans people.
    Are you trolling or derailing?

    Trans is not the thread topic

    Go to a pertinent thread to discuss it. Stop derailing.

    What school do you belong to that teaches 3rd grade children to put on condoms and have anal sex?
    What religion is it you belong to again?
    Is that home schooled you post about or your religion.

    Because that's not public schools in USA.

    minors marrying is not an issue I have any interest in.
    Would that include forces marriaged too. Seems your concern for child welfare is based on a very narrow viewpoint.

    You can't get married at 16 but you can get a double mastectomy at 14 if you are feeling "confused".
    I don't agree with either of those things but it sure does make one wonder about the left's priorities

    So Republicans are doing what they can to limit birth control and abortion. Now, they are pointing out that young girls are "ripe" and "fertile". Sounds to me as though this is the third leg of the plan. The goal? More babies. Unfortunately (but not surprising), we aren't reading about Republicans moving plans forward to assist the new mothers or their babies, once born.

    Of course it would be a problem if a 16 or 17 year old had a baby out of wedlock

    Of course the fact that Republicans want to ban abortion is what makes it more likely that a minor would have a child out of wedlock thus creating the necessity for child marriage.

    It all falls back on the Republicans.

    Care to point out any cases where a 14 year old had a double mastectomy because they were "confused"?

    Nice! Looks like we are about to get a lot more black female supporters! 70% of them are single Moms and could definitely use the assistance. (I think the hubbies must have left them to go help the Palestinians out or something)

    How did you jump from teenage marriage to pedophilia? Is it pedophilia for an 18 yr old woman to marry her 17 yr old boyfriend?

    nope-what i am saying is that the current laws in most states-that require one to be an adult before marriage seem ok to me.

    Here's the California theory: the illegals are hot to drop anchor babies, and it is better for all concerned that they get married and try to stay that way.

    One day they want to ban social media to "protect our precious, innocent children", and the next day they want to force them on the marriage bed.

    I understand that some states do have such requirements, but this thread is about one Republican in one state that wants to remove or continue such exemptions for underage girls. If so, what if an older woman wants to marry a young boy, or is gender an issue.

    The issue is the inconsistency as well as the general directive.

    due to HIPPA and other such issues, I suspect many cases will never be made public
