Surrender noted, no doubt you would be honored a hero on the Sun board.
So far, it's not having much trouble getting through the legislative bodies of Wyoming, and evidently passed the Senate committee unanimously.
So far it's looking like a tempest in a teapot. It's not going anywhere.
But like every sensationalist story, there's always more to it than what is reported by a biased media outlet. Obviously it ALSO sets a minimum age for marriage at 18. You CAN get married younger than 18 but older than 16 but with a judge's consent.
Some of the other arguments - well, they're dumb. One such argument goes that if a child can get pregnant at 15 - as my mom did - then they should be allowed to marry. Well I don't think young teens should be getting married at all, anyway. It's just stupid and unlikely to work out - statistically, they don't. And other things happen when immature kids marry - domestic violence is MUCH higher, and health problems occur at a higher rate.
I'm inclined to believe it ISN'T because some thirty year old wants a 12 year old bride. Maybe THAT has advocates, but if it does, they're not getting their way in the legislature.
I don't know where Mormons get blamed for this - they forbid marriage before 18 already. They do marry young but they also have rules.

44 states in the US have no required legal age for marriage.
Because you're an insane cultist.
Statistically you're right, but statistically 50% of all marriages fail.
Not that I'm advocating for young teen marriages, but friends of mine married when she was 15 and he was 17 because they got pregnant. They just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
I know, I know, that is not the norm; I just wanted to throw it out there for fun and also because it's such a long shot it's worth marveling at.

From you, LOL
I love your posts because you are a perfect example that Democrats are mentally unbalanced and completely depraved, no morals, no intellect, no education, no awareness of anything outside the voices in their messed up head.
Keep up the good work!
