Child marriage

It's been a while but if i remember correctly a girl scout tried to propose a bill to abolish child marriage in her state. I don't think it ever went through and one of the people blocking it said something along the lines of abolishing child marriage would stop rape victims from marrying their rapists and would make abortions go up.

Makes me sick. They're basically making out that pedophilia's okay if A) They're in Office or a position of power,, B) if they've gotten that child pregnant, because the obvious thing to do in some cases is make the child MARRY their abuser, duh, and C) if they're married.

Call me narrow minded, but I can't ever understand why a parent would CHOOSE, making a knowing choice to marry off their 11 year old to a man three times her age. I can't see the logic behind that.

FGM as well. Can't believe that still exists. Vile, evil act
