Assholes certainly never had an issue with the State getting up in between doctors and patients and telling people what they can and can't do with their bodies.
They're just protecting male dominance and trying to control girls before they become women and can spot their bullshit.
All these crusty old white Republican guys speaking out against a ban on child marriage. I feel pity for the women AND men who have ended up in their sick and disgusting orbits.
We must make haste. Marry her off to some abuser or loser before she’s showing that bump. That little slut should have kept her legs closed, geez. What was she wearing?
Six months? 24-25 weeks??? If they ARE born, they're in the NICU before you can blink, one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, and NONE of 'em anywhere NEAR eight pounds (closer to a pound and change, I suspect).
Which blows my mind. I HAVE a daughter ... fully grown, 37 years old, married to a sharp young man and with two lovely daughters and smart enough to NEVER consider or assent to marriage at half her current age.
I don't know why it is ever acceptable to present things to children as fact, an educated adult would most likely dismiss out of hand if hearing it for the first time.
I see - it's the government's job to make sure the government doesn't government too much. And the fundamental misrepresentation of Socialism is a nice touch. Very Reagan-esque.
[heavy sigh] Okay, I got THAT off my chest. Why is it that grown men think they have the right to dictate exactly WHAT and WHEN is the age of consent for girls / women? But at least the bill is now law ... WHEW! The whole dirty-old-man meme frankly jumps into my head before I can think of anything else.
At least Tyrone F. Horni went after Gladys and not some 14-year-old (look it up!).
They think that pregnant children are just willingly having all kinds of sex without any contraception, thus making abortion the go to for not making babies. Forcing these pregnant children to marry their rapists would stop those abortions, because everyone knows that God wants them to force birth with a mommy and a daddy who are married to each other. Since that's God's plan, that makes it perfectly ok. Whether or not the child is able to raise a child doesn't matter. How much more abuse the child will receive doesn't matter. All that matters is forcing birth.
How many child grooms marrying adult women? Damn near zero. How many child brides? Damn near all. As much as they claim purity culture protects women, it turns them into objects for sex as soon as they are able to force a marriage.
Perhaps child marriages made a degree of sense at a time when life expectancy was less than half of what it is today. As for the Bible, there is no independent corroboration for any of it, and there is no definitive evidence either Jesus or his mother ever existed. No where does it say Mary (or what ever her name actually was) gave her consent. Evidently, rape is okay if God does it.
Socialism, Mr. Humphrey, is not when the government tells you what to do, that's fascism. Socialism is when the people get together and pitch in to make things better for the lesser of us. Imagine, for one second, what it would look like if we had a little more support for teenage girls who might be contemplating marrying an older man, rather than whatever the Humphrey this is.
I doubt that the redneck jesusfuckers know any of meaning of words they toss around!
As for the article, perhaps the secular authorities should look into the hard drives of these Republicans, it wouldn’t surprise me that theses republicans are into child porn or are chasing after underage kids!
Socialism to them is just a word to describe people they don't agree with or like. Words are just a means to an end for people like Humphrey, definitions don't matter.
Further Thought: I have to wonder - How many WOMEN are in the Oklahoma State legislature and did THEY have any input on this bill? For that matter, did they have any reaction or rebuttal to those who were arguing in favor of exceptions to the idea of NO MINOR MARRIAGE?
Seriously, this is a question I would LOVE to hear answered.
All 13 women in the Senate voted for the bill (passed the Senate unanimously), and only 3 women in the House (all Republicans, of course) voted against the bill.
IIRC the protoevangelion of James says Mary wasn't "of 12 winters" when visibly pregnant. I guess that's why so many Christians look the other way when priests rape kids. Pedophilia is godly. (And that's a bad thing for any MAGAts lurking here.)
A little on the nose for a group of middle-aged, balding, paunchy white republican men to rear up on their hind legs and bleat about the virtues of allowing child marriage, eh?
Also, note the framing: "Let’s take a situation where a girl was already pregnant. She’s already done that." SHE's already done that. Not THEY'VE already done that. SHE. Again, On. The. Nose.

One wonders if ANY of them have daughters and can think sufficiently outside the box to consider them as potential child brides.
NAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
But 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 daughters are all good girls who are going to be virgins on their wedding night.

I wonder how many 8 pound babies are born in Oklahoma after only 6 months gestation?
Six months? 24-25 weeks??? If they ARE born, they're in the NICU before you can blink, one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, and NONE of 'em anywhere NEAR eight pounds (closer to a pound and change, I suspect).
But you knew that.
Those RWNJs are real good at denying reality.
And if you believe THAT one... 🤪
I think they all WOULD consider their young daughters as potential child brides.
Once they themselves have broken them in.

Crusty? Well that brings up some unpleasant images.
Frankly, I'm of the opinion that religion...especially Christianity...should be 21-and-over.
I don't know why it is ever acceptable to present things to children as fact, an educated adult would most likely dismiss out of hand if hearing it for the first time.
"This bill has nothing to do with pedophilia! This bill has absolutely nothing to do… because we have… we have bills that protect that."
Paging Dr. Freud. Dr. Freud to the white courtesy phone. Somebody's slip is showing.
"Heck, we have a PRESIDENT who protects that!"
Too easy?
We have a president who's lucky if he knows which side of the bread the butter goes... 🤦♂️
He'd better know, since that's likely how he lubricates his shoes each morning.

Someone hasn't looked up "pedophilia" in the dictionary, I suspect.
"Something about bicycles...I think."
I see - it's the government's job to make sure the government doesn't government too much. And the fundamental misrepresentation of Socialism is a nice touch. Very Reagan-esque.
And "too much" is when it inconveniences the elite and not when law enforcement decides just being a minority is enough to justify harassment.
"How old was Mary?" 𝗡𝗢𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪𝗦, 𝗗𝗜𝗣-𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗧!!!

Well said, sir.
Statistics say two children who marry rarely stay married and an older man having sex with a minor is probably already married...
Sometime I'm not sure when you're Joe King, and when you're not Joe King.
Not this time....
Thank you, Joe.

Apparently war makes it OK also.

Humpy, like so many others of his ilk, has no idea what socialism is or how many different types of socialism there are.

Here you go, Trouble:
There are currently 32 women serving in the Oklahoma state legislature, holding 21.5% of the 149 total seats across both chambers.
15 of the 32 are Republicans.
This is broken down as follows:
Oklahoma State Senate: 13 women out of 48 seats
Oklahoma House of Representatives: 19 women out of 101 seat
Very cool. Thanks a lot. I just hope they had some serious input on that bill, because it clearly needed such input.
I would bet that of the 15 Republican women in the OK legislature, 0 of them voted against the bill.
All 13 women in the Senate voted for the bill (passed the Senate unanimously), and only 3 women in the House (all Republicans, of course) voted against the bill.
So, I lost the bet, but not by much. 😀
It's shameful how few women there are in that lege.
But did they ban sibling marriage? This is a red state, after all.
Where cousins are as close as brothers/sisters.
Sleeping with your wife’s identical twin is NOT adultery!!
HEY! There's nothing wrong with incest ... long as you keep it in the family! 🤪
They do allow first cousins to marry- In Florida...

Repedocans.
Let's call child marriage what it truly is: CHILD TRAFFICKING.
And that is what those 36 Republicans support.
A little on the nose for a group of middle-aged, balding, paunchy white republican men to rear up on their hind legs and bleat about the virtues of allowing child marriage, eh?
Also, note the framing: "Let’s take a situation where a girl was already pregnant. She’s already done that." SHE's already done that. Not THEY'VE already done that. SHE. Again, On. The. Nose.
Just me, or are the lights flashing red?
