GROOMERS: Wyoming GOP fights back to keep child brides

[Lakhota]

Currently, there’s no minimum age to marry in Wyoming.

The Republican Party is all about protecting the children, we’ve heard in recent years. The GOP wants to protect children from what they call ‘sexualization,’ such as the acknowledgment that a teenager can be LGBTQ, or even mentioning that a child may have same-sex parents.

What they won’t protect children against, though, is being married off before attaining adulthood.

The fight to defend child marriage has direct links to the ideology of denying women control of their own bodies.

Republicans argue that since a girl under the age of 16 can get pregnant, it’s necessary for her to have the option to marry — even though they’re against the right for her to choose a medical procedure to stop being pregnant, often even if it costs her life.

The current fight over child marriages is now the hottest in Wyoming, where legislation has been proposed to limit marriage to those aged 16 and above — and where Republicans are vehemently opposing it.

Currently, there’s no minimum age to marry in Wyoming, although those under 16 must have the approval and order of a judge to do so.

GROOMERS: Wyoming GOP fights back to keep child brides

The Wyoming GOP accuses Democrats of "grooming" children but inexplicably refuses to support a ban on marriage before the age of 16.

How can an 11 year old get married? The article claimed TN allowed it in 2006!

They're ok with using little girls in this way as they're sick. Sick, sick and sick as hell. I hate the gop.

Thousands of minors wed each year in the United States. Many are given no choice.

Among the states with the highest rates of child marriages were Arkansas, Idaho and Kentucky. The number of child marriages has been falling, but every state in America still allows underage girls to marry, typically with the consent of parents, a judge or both. Twenty-seven states do not even set a minimum age by statute, according to the Tahirih Justice Center’s Forced Marriage Initiative.

Republicans truly don’t care about children after they’re born.

Given their never ending attacks on the DNC on grooming etc, it doesn’t look very good. But wtf…there are states with NO minimum?

Child marriage in the US: where is the outrage? - Population Matters

Girls as young as ten are legally getting married in the United States – nearly 300,000 since 2000, according to a new report by Unchained At Last. With no protective...

CHILD RAPE CONDONED BY THE STATE​

Unchained’s report points out that child marriage often covers up child rape and serves as a “get out of jail free” card for a would-be rapist under state law. Shockingly, in most states, the legal framework that would normally consider sex with an underage person statutory rape does not apply within marriage. In the remaining states, while sex with an underage person is illegal in all cases, marrying one is nevertheless permitted and there is no control or enforcement in place once the documents are signed.

Equally appaling is the federal criminal code which prohibits sex with a child aged 12 to 15, but exempts those who first marry the child. Unchained’s report rightly notes that “this incentivizes child marriage and implicitly endorses child rape.”

RUINED CHILDHOODS​

Young girls usually have no agency when it comes to contraceptive use and their bodies are not ready to give birth – pregnancy and childbirth complications are very common among childbrides and are sadly still the leading cause of death among 15-19 year old girls worldwide. According to Girls Not Brides, girls before the age of 18 are also more likely to acquire HIV, and experience domestic violence.

Heterosexual pedophiles.

Actually…pedos are neither hetero or homo because their attraction is to children.

 

[Lakhota]

Really sick!

Really sick!

As long as it is heterosexuality it is ok for this fundie ass party to use children and to breed them at a early age. The gop is disgusting.

E_Clayton_Jones was correctly specifying that these pedos are sexually attracted to children of the opposite sex. They would not allow them to marry otherwise.

Apparently Wyoming isn't the only "child bride" state.
