GROOMERS: Wyoming GOP fights back to keep child brides

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.


Sounds perverted to me! What do you think?
Parents signing off on weddings of 16-18? What's wrong with that? American Indians do it all the time.
 
The poorly written op-ed by someone named Stephanie Bazzle makes a crazy link between abortion and underage marriage and lefties expand the craziness to the comparison to sexual groomers. Left wing desperation has gone off the freaking charts.
 
Pedophiles don't marry their victims. Leave it to the dishonest left to post a picture of an 8 year old girl to bolster their argument.
